This article contains values as an example of a specific case. Your servers may have different configuration. Please use accordingly. Over a network, although the network bandwidth could be 10 GigaBits, yet, if the servers have 1 GigE Ethernet network cards (1 GigaBit), the overall file-transfer throughput is 1 GigaBits / sec, which means (1024*1024*1024 / 8) bytes per sec = 125 MB/sec . This is the maximum throughput available on the network. For convenience, the 2 esrvers we need to improve data transfer speeds between - we'd call one as source, & other target. Now, if we ping from a source to target server, we get about 42 ms of turnaround time. This gives us maximum amount of data at any point of time possible on this network as (125 MB / s) * (0.042) = 5.250 MB . However, the default network level settings on the servers don’t let this much bandwith to be used. We may verify it with “ndd & route” commands (only SA can run these commands): If you h
