Networking :: NAS Over WiFi Transfer Rate
Mar 27, 2010
I have a LaCie NAS which is mounted on my main linux machine over a wifi LAN using the cifs file system. I would stupidly expect the transfer rate between my hard drive and the NAS to be limited by the Wifi speed (54 Mbps) but when I transfer files, the speed tops at 1.9 Mb/s which is roughly 15.2 Mbps. The most puzzling thing is that when I do multiple simultaneous transfers, I reach approximately 3MB/s in total but none of the individual transfers goes beyond 1.8. Does anyone have an idea about what is keeping the transfer rate so low?

My friend bought an old hard drive. He noticed something with the hard drive that it was just replaced with a SATA socket. So meaning, the SATA socket was soldered to the PATA hard disk to replace the PATA socket to SATA socket to make it a SATA.
Now the question is:
1. Does the Transfer Rate of the harddisk (that has been replaced from PATA socket to SATA socket) would be SATA transfer rate? OR would still be PATA transfer rate?

We have a Linux box which acts a a file server. Currently, files and directories are exported using NFS.At the moment, we are a bit concern on its data transfer performance. FYI, we are using a embedded Gigabit Ethernet port on the file server. We ran a few simple write tests between NFS client (also utilizes GigE port) and the NFS server. In these tests, both NFS server and client are both connected directly to each other with a Cat5E cable. Unfortunately, the write/transfer speed results are not as per our expectation. It scores roughly about 11-12MByte/s, where as theoretically Gigabit Ethernet transfer rate is able to reach up to approximately 120MByte/s.I wouldn't expect to reach the theoretical max transfer rate (it would be great if we can , but I would appreciate if you guys can share with us in terms of the following :
1) What's the practical max data transfer rate which you guys managed to observe in a normal Gigabit based connection? What about jumbo frames configuration?
2) Is there any additional tuning/configuration we need to do within the OS to reach those practical max data transfer rate figure?
3) Does PCI-e / system bus plays a role in achieving this speed? For example, we are using the embedded GigE port and we heard some people says embedded ports are actually sharing the system bus and resources with other devices, which might adds into performance issue. Correct me if I'm wrong.
4) Does converting to Cat6 cabling will guarantee an increase in the data transfer performance?
5) In the future (once we are clear on how much single GigE transfer rate we can go) , we are looking into doing bonding since that the NFS server's shared directory/volume read-write speed is way much higher (i.e 400-600MByte/s). Will bonding allow us to achieve higher NFS read/write speed? What are the bonding modes best used for this purposes? Appreciate if anybody who has experience in doing bonding for NFS can share their experience.

I have a FC13 box that has both Gnome and KDE sessions installed.
I have noticed on the KDE session that data transfer rates are slower than when I use Gnome.
In Gnome, I can transfer files between my FC13 machine and my Ubuntu 10.04 pc at a rate of 6.5 MB/s (52 Mb/s if my maths is correct), but in KDE the rate is only 3.5 MB/s (28 Mb/s).
"ethtool eth0" shows my NIC speed as 100 Mb/s. Obviously I am not hitting anywhere near that speed in either session, (a separate article may be happen in the future to address that), but I am curious as to why KDE is that much slower for file transfer.

I am struggling trying to understand the reason for a fairly slow data transfer rate between two machines. ( tried point to point and also via a 1 gb switch )
One is nfs/http/ftp server ( with raid1 and lvm on top ), the other one my desktop pc. Both OS with default options, no changes to kernel in proc or other sort of thing.
Hardware is full recognized and perfectly working: The server has 4gb ram, Intel Core 2 Duo CPUE6850 @ 3.00GHz, 1000Mb/s NIC card and Lucid 10.04 64 bit, 250Giga Hard disk. The client has 3gb ram, Intel Core 2 CPU 6320 @ 1.86GHz, 1000Mb/s NIC card and Ubuntu Maverick 32bit , 150Gb Hard disk.
Raw data is good:
gettons@gettons-desktop:~$ iperf -c MYSERVER
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to MYSERVER, TCP port 5001

I have not tried this, and I am only wondering about the result.Let's say that I have a PC/Laptop with two network devices: an ethernet and a wireless. Can I connect both of the to the same network (if this network allows both connection) to increase the transfer rate between the PC/Laptop and the server???

I have 2 10.04 machines connected through a switch, both with gigabit on board ethernet. Both machines show 1000 Mb/s connections.When I transfer large files (gig plus up to multi-gig) the maximum I get according to ftp 11472 kB/s.I did rough computer school math in my head and that seems low but I'll admit I know very little about network transfer rates.My question is what transfer rates should I expect to get between the 2?

Sd card transfer rate is 133mb/s and ide transfer rate is same 133mb/s. Using no extra wire and direct connection, why is that sd card is much gradual than ide?

I would like to know if it is normal to experience 10MB/s data transfer rates during copying between partitions on my local hard drives (Toshiba 250GB 5400rpm SATA) while having three times faster (30MB/s) transfer rates between local partitions and USB drives (Kingston 8GB).

anyone know why this would happen? I ran the following dd command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=hard/old_dell_desk_part1.img
a USB external drive was mounted to the 'hard' directory with the standard mount command. it is a ntfs-3g filesystem. it is a mechanical drive.
same behavior with solid state memory (flash, and solid state hard drives)
3693492+0 records in
3693492+0 records out
1891067904 bytes (1.9 GB) copied, 274.562 s, 6.9 MB/s

Same computer and flash. Two results on different OS:
Write speed under debian: 0.4 MB/s
Write speed under Windows: 6.6 MB/s
From what i've been reading on the net I guess it's something to do with the mount - sync option.
I've notice that there are couple of workarounds but all of them are pretty tedious.
Is there any simple (GUI - one/two clicks) tool that allow to mount/unmount flash disk easily using the correct options?
I'm using Squeeze 6.0.2 (Kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64), gnome 2.30.2

I just bought a HP 3085dx laptop with an intel 5100 agn wireless card.
The problem: copying a big file over the wireless to a gigabit hardwired to the router computer only gives an average 3.5MB/Second transfer rate. If I do the same copy from my wireless-n macbook pro to the same computer. I get a transfer rate of about 11MB/sec. Why the big difference? I noticed the HP always connects to the 2.4 GHZ band instead of the 5GHZ bands...
On the HPL

I am not getting any errors. I don't know why the bit rate is not known. My airport extreme base station typically reports that the 'rate' for the hp is typically 250~300MBi and about the same for the MacBook Pro. The hp is about 6 inchs away from the base station. Is there anyway to get the rascal to go mo'faster? Is there anyway to get the rascal to use the 5GHZ band.

I recently purchased an iRiver P7 media player which I am using with Rhythmbox under Ubuntu 9.04. The transfer speed when uploading files to the player is phenomenally slow - the first 50 or so MB reported virtually instantly then the speed immediately drops to about 12-15KB/sec yes KB/sec so a 3-400MB video file takes hours to transfer to the player. This happens with the internal memory and the added memory (SD card) too, althoufg it is faster ror the SD card. No other devices have ever behaved like this on this system (and I have used 2 different Creative players, a different iRiver player and numerous memory sticks). The computer is dual booting with windows (for once that was useful) and under windows it doesn't happen, the speed is as expected so it isn't the hardware. I don't want to have to resort to damned windoze just for this. dmesg after plugging in the player shows it identifying both the internal storage and the added SD card but I don't understand the rest of it:
[code]....
This last message gets repeated lots of times, and during transfers it seems to be issued continuously and I suppose this is why the system is so slow because it is always retrying loads of times before a success.

I checked task manager the other day and I discovered that on the network history monitor some bits and bites were transfered in a repeating pattern (like a beacon). The transfer rate (when active) is about 149b/s receiving. And about 70b/s sending. What is this?
No Internet-related program was running from my part...In an attempt to pinpoint what was causing this, I occidentally removed the tools located left and right on the time and date. I've rebooted since but still no tools. The 0/I button is also gone.

I have two laptops. First one is connected to my ISP via Ethernet connection. At the same time it serves as a wireless router for the second laptop (ad-hoc connection). Multicast routing is managed by igmpproxy. Everything works fine, except that multicast traffic rate on the second computer is very low (1 MBit/s), its too slow for watching television.
After some searching I found that this multicast rate is always minimal one for certain type of WiFi connection (802.11bg in my case) https://lists.ath9k.org/pipermail/at...il/003393.html. For some WiFi kernel modules its possible to set multicast rate by setting appropriate module options. But its not the case with ath9k.
WLAN configuration on the "router" laptop:
Code:
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 key 1111111111
iwconfig wlan0 channel auto
iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M
iwconfig wlan0 essid WHATEVER
how to increase multicast rate on the second computer?

I have a linux box running between my router and my LAN. My connection speed is 10MB download and 1MB upload. The issue is that whenever someone starts to upload something, it is like my connection is down. No one else can open websites, read emails etc.Is it possible to place a limit for upload, maybe 50kb/s? This way, people won't use the entire upload speed available.

I want to implement rate control over network interface. So I have configured Linux PC as a router with netem installed and having two interface cards.
device1----> Linux router with netem ---> device2
device1 connects to eth0 and device2 connects to eth1 of the Linux router. eth0 is configured to connect to the internet and eth1 has a static IP address on a local network. I want to limit bandwidth on devices connected to eth0.So I applied the below rules using tc and tbf.
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: prio
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:3 handle 30: netem
tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 30:1 tbf rate 256kbit buffer 1600 limit 3000
Will the above work or should I use htb instead. I want to simulate the network conditions using different bandwidths.

My laptop has an internal wireless device and a button to turn it on/off, but since it has bad reception I use an external USB wireless adapter.The problem is that if I turn the internal wireless device off using the button, it also turns the USB wireless adapter off.Is there anyway to use the killswitch (the button) only for the internal wireless device?This only started to happen in Ubuntu 10.04.

I have only had a few weeks worth of experience with linux, so I'm probably considered a newbie at this but I felt like giving it a shot. I just configured my new Toshiba Satellite A505-S6969 to jaunty. Most of the transition is going well but I'm stuck with a few issues, one of which is getting my wifi to work. Right now I'm working off of an ethernet cable.spci returns

We have a DSL , how can we calculate the available bandwidth so that we can shape the packet, We can assume the bandwidth to be 100mbps on the ethernet interface However, in DSL devices, the train rate(Bandwidth rate ) is varies according to different situation. How can i get the available bandwidth rate(from varies)?. Any method is there for getting the available bandwidth value....

I'm sure this is simple but I haven't a clue how to do it other than System Monitor, which only displays for the total uptime.
I want to see what my total network data use is in Bytes (GB, MB, or KB) downloaded/uploaded for the month or any given date range.
Rationale is I want to use wireless tethering from my phone to replace my broadband connection at home. At the moment my phone contract gives me unlimited data access, however if I were to sign a new contract today this would drop to 2 GB a month with hefty overage charges.

I'm a newbie in the world of netfilter/iptables. I've read an article about iptables and rate limit module:
Code: iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP --icmp-type echo-request -m limit --limit 1/minute --limit-burst 5 -j ACCEPT The firewall will let the first 5 packets in in the first minute, -limit-burst 5; this means, however, that the packets/minute now is 5, so any further packets are blocked until packets/minute = 1, i.e. 5 minutes later. In the sixth minute, packets/minute will be 5/6 < 1, so another ping request will be let in. When the extra ping request is admitted, the ratio becomes 6/6 = 1 again, and packets are DROPped again until the next minute.
Now I have some problems in understanding how it works.
For example: I want ping google.com in this way: the kernel firewall permits to send the first 5 packet to google.com (--limit-burst 5) and then it blocks the remaining packets for 5 minutes. At sixth minute (because I wish a limit rate equal to 1/minute: --limit 1/minute) one packet can send to google again. And so on.
So my rule should be:
Code: iptables -A OUTPUT -d url_of_google -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -m limit --limit 1/minute --limit-burst 5 -j ACCEPT In this way, if i digit
Code: ping -f url_of_gogle I expect that the first 5 packets are accepted (and so zero '.' will print on the screen) and then for the remaining 5 minutes no one packets will be accepted (and so a long string of '.' will print). But it doesn't work...
In man pages of ping we read (about -f option):
-f Flood ping. Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one hundred times per second, whichever is more. For every ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ``.'' is printed, while for every ECHO_REPLY received a backspace is printed. This provides a rapid display of how many packets are being dropped.
