Fellow LDM'ers,
I'm trying to convince my campus network folks that we have a serious network
bandwidth/congestion problem. This problem does not seem to be related to total
campus traffic. I have supplied them with several pieces of evidence, but I'm
looking for more and that's where you can help.
I occasionally download data from motherlode.ucar.edu as a backup to lost IDD
data. Currently, when I download I'm getting speeds of around 35 Kbps, which
is just horrible. However when I retrieve the file on my local network I get
7500 Kbps. The difference is poor network performance going through all the
switches and firewalls between my network and UCAR. Could some of you (who have
access) download some data from motherlode via ftp or http and tell me what
kind of transfer speeds you get? This would be interesting info in is own
right, but might also provide me with some more ammunition for my case with my
network folks.
Thanks for your help,
-Mike
