Hello again,
I did another test, this time with 16 PCs. The following commands were
used:
udp-sender \
--file /dev/hda \
--pipe "lzop -c -" \
--half-duplex \
--max-bitrate 70m \
--fec 8x16/128 \
--min-clients 16 \
--nokbd
and
udp-receiver \
--pipe "lzop -d -" \
--file /dev/hda
After about transmitting 21gb of data and writing about 60gb to disk,
the sender reported timeouts on receiver 10 and dropped speed down to
about 50kbps. I don't know what happend, appearently the harddisk in
client number 10 looks ok (at least smartctl -t short and -t long did
not reveal anything).
I then took #10 off, but the speed didn't go up again.
I'm right now re-testing this thing, this time with 15 clients (without
former #10).
