Hi,
While transfering a 42MB file, there seem to be a TCP
delay between the kernels 2.4.7 and 2.4.18.
Here are some data :-
In 2.4.7 kernel :
43843584B in 4.486s = 9.77342e+06B/s = 9544.36KB/s =
9.32066MB/s
In 2.4.18 kernel :
43843584B in 3.711s = 1.18145e+07B/s = 11537.6KB/s =
11.2672MB/s
I am looking at the reason behind the delay in 2.4.7
kernel. Any comments on this?
PS: Please CC me with reply, as i am not subscribed to

thanks,
latha

Don't do such short measurements, 4.5 seconds is no way to do statistics.
TCP/IP does not start out at full speed but takes some time to find the
right speed.

If all you do is repeatedly transfer small files of only 42Mb, the
difference of 18% between 3.7 and 4.4 seconds is quite measureable.
But you should measure the difference more than once, but I suspect
that this was indeed done.....
