Performance - Multi Gig Ethernet LAN
Performance - Multi Gig Ethernet LAN
Faster Ethernet is becoming more popular in order to improve performance. In the future years, we'll gradually move away from 1 Gigabit connections towards 10 Gigabit connections, with 2.5 and 5 Gbps connections also being made accessible as interim jack. For testing purposes, we have invested in a 10 Gigabit network infrastructure. We begin with a Gigabit uplink and then connect to the 2.5, 5 or 10 Gbps networks in order to scientifically analyze the throughput of the network.
Above the 2.5 GigE LAN connection, this is as good as things can get; 2374 Mbps is 297 MB/sec of transfer throughput.
Above a 1 GigE LAN connection, 939 Mbps is 117 MB/sec of transfer throughput.
