Hi - I am seeing some strange IPERF results.. Everything goes through my WIFI/GIGABIT router. For these tests everything is plugged directly into the router via Ethernet cable. My issue is the transfer rate from Windows to FreeBSD. There are 3 different computers in this lab running 3 different OS.
Here are the results:
With FreeBSD being the server, Windows transfer to FreeBSD is slow, compared to Macbook to FreeBSD transfer. With Windows as the server, FreeBSD and Macbook to Windows transfer is great.
With Macbook as server, Windows and FreeBSD transfer is good. The only bad transfer is Windows to FreeBSD. Windows transfer to Mac is good. I can't really blame Windows for the poor transfer to FreeBSD then. Macbook to FreeBSD is outstanding, can't really blame FreeBSD for poor receive performance.
Here are the results:
