780.0. "DEC 3000 FDDI throughput" by MUDDY::WATERS () Tue Nov 10 1992 10:20

    Today, DEC is announcing Alpha AXP system performance data.  Included
    in the announcement is this tidbit:

 DEC OSF/1 AXP O.S.	- 95 Mb/s TCP/IP on the FDDI with DEC 3000/500
 TCP/IP FDDI throughput	- over 100 Mb/s, in some cases, with 2 FDDI adapters

  [*]	On Flamingo with DEC OSF/1 we have leadership-level performance for
	TCP/IP and UDP/IP.  We can saturate a 100 Mb/s FDDI with either of
	these.  In addition, our implementation, unlike many other vendors',
	is able to achieve the same performance with UDP or TCP.  With
	multiple FDDI adapters in the system we can send more than 100 Mb/s.

	This begs the question of performance on DEC 3000 Model 400, DEC 7000 Model 610, and DEC 10000 Model 610. I would hope that the DEC7000 and DEC 10000 would both have full speed capabilities, but would expect that the DEC 3000 Model 400 would be somewhat less. This is actually very important for some distributed computing opportunities that I have. Michael Brown

This begs the question of performance on DEC 3000 Model 400, DEC 7000 Model 610,

would be somewhat less.
