[Samba] Re: update: Win2kPro's TCP/IP Stack is crippled!

[Dragan Krnic]

| I've been doing some testing between Windows 2000 
| Pro (SP4) and Windows 2000 Server (no SP and SP4) -- 
| specifcally testing file transfers from a Samba 
| 2.2.8a server.
.............
| Samba config file changes:
|    socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=65536 SO_RCVBUF=65536
|    max xmit = 65536
|    read size = 65536
|    getwd cache = Yes
|    locking = Yes
| 
| The various shares have "use sendfile = yes"
| 
| Initial testing shows that the Windows 2000 Server 
| stack is almost _twice_  as fast as the Windows 2000 
| Pro stack.  It's unbelievable that Microsoft would 
| cripple their product this way.

No, it's quite consistent with the commercial spirit -
more money, more power. But can you see what the 
difference in various registry settings is? E.g. how 
big the TCP packets are?
