Does anyone know what's the average speed for windows file transferring (SMB2) between Hong Kong and Johannesburg? Any guide on how to calculate/estimate this?
Worst case would be that XP is involved, then you're going to be limited by xmodem-like behaviour of SMB, which means you'll get 60 kilobyte of data per RTT. http://blogs.technet.com/b/josebda/archive/2012/06/06/windows-server-2012-wh... says SMB2 is vista and later, so you will probably be able to get higher speeds than that. If you look at 5, then "request compounding" is probably what solved the problem I mentioned earlier. Unfortunately I dont have further details than this. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
