Hi,
I am using one Apple Power G5 machines with MAC OS X 10.4
and
one Intel pro with MAC OS X 10.4,each with two, 1Gbps network cards. I
tried apple's Link Aggregation for creating a new virtual interface
bond0. These machines are connected using 2 cross cables(CAT 6). But
when i send a 50 GB data (single file) across the machines using ftp,
i didnot find any impovement in speed than sending across a single
network interface.
One thing i observerd is that the data rate is
not going above 53MB/s.This is less than half of the capacity of a
single network interface.And the cpu usage is less than 10%,memory is
utilizing fully(1GB). I feel the meaning of link aggregation comes only
when data pumbing from stack is more than ~120MB?(ie, more than a
single links capacity).
I would like to know, how can we increase
data pumbing from stack to layer2.Is there any bench marking
application available for demonstrating link aggregation?
It
would be really helpful ,if any one share their views on Link aggreagation.
Thanks
Anees
