In a network I have 3 linux systems. 2 of those are suse systems and the 3rd one is a linux firewall/router (not suse). The suse systems are a 9.2 and a 9.3 system. The outgoing ip/ethernet transmission speed of the 9.3 suse system is only 1.0-2.0 MB/s as reported by scp. While for the incoming traffic it is 6.0MB/s. This 6.0MB/s speed is measured for the other systems (fw <-> 9.2) as well. I wonder what can be reason why the outgoing speed is so low. The network connection has been switched to another network port, but the outgoing speed remains low. Does anyone have an idea what can be the reason for the low outgoing speed? Can this be caused by a bad network card, a hanging network process (although the system is almost idle)?? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
