[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] Nokia vs. NT
I have seen these numbers. I was amazed until I noticed that they were running 10/100 on Nokia and Gig cards on the NT system. I also had someone telling me that Lynx on an Intel chipset kicked but on a Sun Solaris. They showed me the statistics. The Lynx box was using Gig cards and the Sun Solaris had a quad 10/100. These are not honest results unless they are using the same equipment. Gig cards are always going to kick the heck out of 10/100 cards Thomas Stala [email protected] Hope this helps -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Larry Pingree Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 2:43 PM To: Tim Holman; Tim Anderson; [email protected] Subject: Re: [FW1] Nokia vs. NT Tim, please refer me to where you have seen these NT comparasons to the Nokia, when I worked at Nokia, I've never seen numbers that reflected slower times on a Nokia compared with NT, I cannot imagine an NT box passing packets faster than Unix.
