David,
Over the past few days, I have replaced all of my network cable to CAT6
cable. It did not perform any better. I have been using the
program iperf on my LAN and these are the results.
[root]# iperf -s
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 4] local 192.168.*.* port 5001 connected with 192.168.*.* port 1914
[ 4] 0.0-10.0 sec 508 MBytes 425 Mbits/sec
------------------------------------------------------------
This is much better than what I originally posted. 93.3 Mbit/s
It may be a SAMBA thing. I have looked into that and have not been able to make any improvements.
SFTP works a little better. With SFTP I transferred 6.3GB in 5min
which is 140Mbit/s. Not close to what IPERF says my LAN speed is
capable of. I will try another switch this week.
