I have been trying various methods -of getting win95 to talk to Samba quicker. The results I have come up with -are: - -1. Install the W2setup.exe file from www.microsoft.com. This is an -update for the winsock stack and utilities which improve performance. - -2. Configure the win95 TCPIP registry settings to give better -perfomance. I use a program called MTUSPEED.exe which I got off the -net. There are various other utilities of this type freely available. -The setting which give the best performance for me are: - -(a) MaxMTU Remove -(b) RWIN Remove -(c) MTUAutoDiscover Disable -(d) MTUBlackHoleDetect Disable -(e) Time To Live Enabled -(f) Time To Live - HOPS 32 -(g) NDI Cache Size 0 - -3. I tried virtually all of the items mentioned in the document and -the only one which made a difference to me was the socket options. It -turned out I was better off without any!!!!! - -In terms of overall speed of transfer, between various win95 clients -and a DX2-66 20MB server with a crappy NE2000 compatible and old IDE -drive (Kernel 2.0.30). The transfer rate was reasonable for 10 baseT. - -The figures are: Put Get -P166 client 3Com card: 420-440kB/s 500-520kB/s -P100 client 3Com card: 390-410kB/s 490-510kB/s -DX4-75 client NE2000: 370-380kB/s 330-350kB/s - -I based these test on transfer two files a 4.5MB text file and a 15MB -textfile. The results arn't bad considering the hardware Samba is -running on. It's a crap machine!!!! - -The updates mentioned in 1 and 2 brought up the transfer rates from -just over 100kB/s in some clients. - -A new client is a P333 connected via a 100MB/s card and hub. The -transfer rates from this were good: 450-500kB/s on put and 600+kB/s -on get. - -Looking at standard FTP throughput, Samba is a bit slower (100kB/s -upwards). I suppose there is more going on in the samba protocol, but -if it could get up to the rate of FTP the perfomance would be quite -staggering. - -Paul Cochrane - |
