Have you try to change physical things like: changing tp-cabel, port in switch and nic? Just personal experience where you get some traffic through, but not bursts. Are these machines on the same subnet? Same switch/hub? Are they all using good quality Cat5 cables? Any of these factors could be affecting your network throughput, not just the operating systems. For example, if your Gentoo boxes are on a different switch than the Debian and Mandrake ones, there could very well be some slowdown related to poor/old wiring. Also, if some are behind a NAT, slowdown will occur as well. You should also check to be sure you don't have any odd policies set up on one or the other set of machines (some sorta proxy/firewall may be causing trouble). are you doing any tweaking of TCP parameters? in some cases the parameters can cause very bad performance when they are communicating with other machines that can't match the params. I tried changing physical things: no result The machines are on the same switch. We checked the TCP parameters. This was a Gentoo installation without any modifications. The weird thing is that Debian and Mandrake cause the problems, if it was only one of them i'd say its their fault. This way it seems like if something goes wrong with the Gentoo machine i have. And the problem occurs on both of my Gentoo machines (one amd64, one x86) Closing NEEDINFO, until/if there's enough information to reproduce the problem. |
