Hi
From: Schulz Georges [mailto:G.Schulz@MIDATA.DE] I have here one system where I installed SuSE 7.3 and SLES 8. The system has on-board Intel PRO/100+ Server Adapter(PILA8407B). I started out testing 10/100 Mbit Switches. When I notice under SLES 8 I was only getting 85 Mbits and with SuSE 7.3 I was getting 95 Mbits. Now I am not a network expert, but this does not seem right. Driver info SuSE 7.3 has 1.6.22 and SLES 8 has 2.1.15. Does anyone have a clue why?
How did you test that? What kind of network do you have? How many machines are connected to the switch? ... It well may be that your network had some kind of traffic-peak and your switch reduced the throughput to 85MBit because it hadn't had more internal bandwidth left? Just guessing ...
