Slow LAN FTP Transfers with FreeBSD...
Hello, I've got a FreeBSD 6 server running on my network that I used as a file server for my main computer. However I've really become frustrated with the slow up/down speeds I'm getting, about 100KB/s, which is about as bad as if I was using a "real" server. My setup is as follows:

Code:
ISP
|
Router 
|
Hub
|
PowerLine node

[~10m]

PowerLine node
|
FreeBSD 6 Sever (256MB/450MHz Pentium)

[~3M]

Powerline node
| 
Main Computer (Win7 using FileZilla)

Here are the results of tracert:
Code:
Tracing route to 192.168.1.15 over a maximum of 30 hops

  1   319 ms   266 ms   242 ms  192.168.1.15

Trace complete.

It seems to be since we're just going over the LAN, I should really be getting at least 500KB/s+ right? Is this a PowerLine issue, cable issue, FreeBSD issue, PC hardware isssue... etc? I'd be very thankful if I can get some ideas where to start to identify the bottleneck here, thanks a lot. Smilie

LEARN ABOUT FREEBSD

hv_utils

HYPER-V(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						HYPER-V(4)

NAME

     hv_utils -- Hyper-V Utilities Driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in the system kernel configuration file:

	   device hyperv

DESCRIPTION

     The hv_utils driver provides time keeping, shutdown and heartbeat functionality for FreeBSD guest partitions running on Hyper-V.  Hyper-V is
     a hypervisor-based virtualization technology from Microsoft.  The hv_utils driver is one of the core drivers required to be present in guest
     partitions running on Hyper-V.  This driver provides the following functionalities to guest partitions:

     (a) Time Keeping: The clock inside the guest partition will remain accurate by synchronizing to the clock on the virtualization server via
     Timesync service, and with the help of the pluggable time source device.

     (b) Integrated shutdown: Guest partitions running FreeBSD can be shut down from Hyper-V Manager console by using the "Shut down" command.

     (c) Heartbeat: This feature allows the virtualization server to detect whether the guest partition is running and responsive.

SEE ALSO

     hv_ata_pci_disengage(4), hv_netvsc(4), hv_storvsc(4), hv_vmbus(4)

HISTORY

     Support for hv_utils first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.  The driver was developed through a joint effort between Citrix Incorporated, Microsoft
     Corporation, and Network Appliance Incorporated.

AUTHORS

     FreeBSD support for hv_utils was first added by Microsoft BSD Integration Services Team <bsdic@microsoft.com>.
