Collisions

[Correale, Ernest]

The collisions are probably caused by the client sending ACKs to confirm
receipt of data.  Collisions are a normal part of Ethernet communication, I
wouldn't worry about it unless they are very severe.  

A solution would be to use a switch rather than a hub.  A switch will allow
two-way (Full-Duplex) communication between your server and client,
eliminating the collision problem.

Subject: Collisions


We're using samba across a 10MBit ethernet and seem to get collisions on the
hub when reading files, no matter how quiet the traffic.  I can only think
that the smbd is beginning its reply before the request is fully finished.
Anyone know whether this is the case and whther I can tune anything to stop
it happening?
