We recently reported to HP a major performance problem with the FTP
client on the HP3000 writing to external FTP servers. Up to 200X slower
than the same write to an internal FTP server. 

As yet, they have not traced the problem - for more details contact my
ops manager - cc'ed into this email.

Subject: [HP3000-L] FTP performance question

Hi,

I'm curious...what's the best FTP transfer rate anyone has seen when
going out from a LAN to the internet and then to another 3K or 9K?

Using a 3K with a 100 Mbit card...and a 100 Mbit pipe, we're trying to
send a 70 MB file from California to the east coast.

3K system:

   100 Mbit card, full duplex, no auto negotiate.

   MPE/iX 6.0 (fully patched, AFAIK)

Transferring (via FTP) a 70 MB file:

   Local 3000 to Local 3000: 30 Mbit   (so, we know we can get a decent
rate)

   3000 to distant 9000:      5 Mbit   (slow!)

   3000 to distant 9000:     15 Mbit   (four FTPs going at once to
                                       same machine, shows that 
                                       the pipe isn't limited to 5 Mbit)
                                       (haven't tried more than 4
simultaneous)

The local 3000 is a 989.

thanks,
