Hi guys,
I am trying to maximising the bandwidth of my gigabit network.
I have a desktops connected using Cat5e cables over a gigabit network. My maximum transfer rate is about 23MB/s. I am using an onboard gigabit (realtek) on my motherboard (MSI) and the other computer on a PCI network card. The transfer rate on a 10/100 network is about 6MB/s. I used to achieve about 30+~40MB/s on the network interface on my old motherboard with the same computer connected.
My questions are:
1. Is the speed an average of what a gigabit network?
2. Will installing a new network card on the computer using the onboard gigabit interface improve the speed?
3. It seems that the onboard network interface is limited to USB speed? How do I know that it is limited to a certain speed?
4. How can i further improve the speed?
Thank you.
