    Re: IGMP 10/100/1000 Ethernet Switch

    I think I solved my Gigabit e-net problem. Here's what I did:

    1.) The network WAS hooked up with my MacPro connecting to my Apple Time Capsule which has a Gig-E switch. Then I connected that Gig-E switch to my main Netgear Gig-E 8 port switch. My NAS boxes and other Gig-E devices were plugged in there. The Time Capsule is in between the Mac Pro in my office and the equipment rack in my utility room where everything else is.

    2.) I decided to experiment with taking and running the Mac Pro directly to the Netgear switch. Perhaps two switches was an issue. So I connected two CAT-5 cables with a female-female adapter and ran that. My speeds went up but not as much as I wanted - still it was progress.

    3.) I had some time yesterday and decided to fish a new ethernet cable through the wall and run a solid e-net line all the way from the MacPro to the Netgear switch. I got that hooked up and speeds were slightly better still - getting maybe 150 to 175 Mb/sec from and to the Buffalo NAS boxes.

    4.) Increased everything to Jumbo frames. Not much difference.

    5.) Looked at my CPU utilization the Buffalo NAS. It was pegging about 80% to 100% with the AFP process. So basically, I'm sucking all the CPU time when transferring files. That perhaps was limiting my speed.

    6.) I then tried an FTP transfer via a terminal session. Speeds were now way up over 200 Mb/sec!

    7.) Tried a copy between my PC and my MacPro - speeds good there too.

    So between a network config/cabling configuration that was not optimal and the CPU limitations of the Buffalo NAS drives, I think I have things figured out...

      Good new Jon thanks for the update. This is one reason why I am sticking with a good old real PC running Linux for NAS services vs. a dedicated NAS. It has the processing power and memory for cache that most dedicated devices don't.

      I have tested WesterDigital's, DLinks, Drobo, and other NAS devices and found them all lacking in the area of throughput. Most of these devices run a variant of embedded Linux and when you monitor the CPU you'll find that it's usually the weakest link.

      In the Western Digtal my book world products the CPU is overtaxed by a factor of 3 and even though it has a gigabit ethernet you'll never get more that 20 mbps out of that device. Samba can't get enough cycles to process the requests.

      On the Drobo the NAS module has to talk to the Drobo via USB. Thus the translation of Samba to USB mass storage protocol kills the throughput.

      On the DLink "Toaster" I had had the same problem as the Western Digtal NAS. Slow throughput but I was not able to find out the root cause.

        Slow speeds from NAS devices is why I only use them for music storage, videos and select files. For backups my Windows home server is several times faster for files transfers. I was using the WHS for all my video and audio files too, but decided to stop leaving it on all the time and just use my NAS drives for the things I access on a daily basis. I use a couple of Buffalo NAS drives and I recently got a Dlink NAS running in a RAID 1 configuration.

          IGMP 10/100/1000 Ethernet Switch

          I am trying to setup Internet Connection Sharing and was wondering if there was a way for me to do sharing from wireless to ethernet. I know Mac OS X does it but i would need it on windows. have any ideas?

          Thanks,
          Christopher
