Hi,
We don't have FDDI set up in this site. We like to find out a rough
figure for how long it take to transfer a 4GB RMS ASCII from VAX 7700 to
NT ( it could be any O/S).
If someone has done a large file transfer, please let me know how long
it takes and how large the file is.
It is very difficult to guess.

It will take longer than 4GB/12.5MB/s = 320s = 5m20s. It will vary with the amount of contention. On a quiet/dedicated set of components, I'd guess maybe 15 minutes? If you find it is taking longer than 2 hours, you could consider moving it via tape. A TZ87 has been known to backup 4GB/h. If the NT system can read the results then sneakernet might win the day. This might clearly not be acceptable. | |||||
