I am attempting to transmit a 42 MB/s digital video stream from a Firewire camera over a dedicated point to point gigabit Ethernet connection.
We are currently just testing the point to point gigabit Ethernet connection and are having problems generating enough throughput.
Si-soft Sandra benchmarks indicate that 50 MB/s is achievable with our connection (cat 6 cable, jumbo packets, flow control on). And the HD's are capablt of 93 MB/s
However we have been physically testing the link by transferring a large (1.5 GB) file and can only achieve approximately 20 MB/s (25MB/s - simplex and 20MB/s + 12MB/s duplex).
Why is this throughput limited?????
At present we have a 2800XP (shuttle) connected to a 2.4GHz Celeron, both with D-link DGE 530T Gigabit Ethernet cards, 1 GB ram and SATA raid 0 Hard drives (2xBarracuda 80GB NCQ and 2xMatrox Diamonmax9 80 GB).
Cheers
