56.0. "throughput figures ?" by KETJE::VERSCHUEREN () Wed Feb 28 1990 16:28

    Does anybody has any experience in the actual throuhgput of data
    between a VAX and a BS2000 ?
    My prospect asks for a minimal throughput of 60Kbit/s. Are we able to
    transfer such a huge amount of data ?
    Any idea on the % of VAX utilisation (independent of the size of the
    VAX) ?
    
    Any input is more than welcome.
    
    Pierre.

56.1speed & loadMUNLEG::SCHIMMELThe Answer Is 42Thu Mar 01 1990 15:3814
See note 55.2 for line speed of various connections.

In an ethernet connection, it takes about half a minute to transfer a file with
a size of 1 MB.

Using PSDN connection, the dimension to transfer 1 MB is 20 minutes.

But the transfer time is largely determined by the general load on the wire!

The CPU load of a FTSIE server process is comparable to the load caused by
by a DECnet COPY (FAL process).
