I've compiled netperf on a couple of HPUX 10.20 boxes, and on a Linux
box. I get what look like completely ridiculous numbers for tests to
the Linux box from the HP box on a 100MB/s switched connection, but
realistic numbers from the HP to HP tests. I'll try and summarize
briefly in a table. HP-1 and Linux are connected to a switched network
at 100MB/s, and HP-2 is connected at 10MB/s.
Client		Server		Connection	Measured
(netperf)	(netserver)	(theoretical)	10^6bits/sec
HP-1		HP-2		10^6bits/sec	6.84
HP-2		HP-1            10^6bits/sec    6.16
HP-1		Linux		100^6bits/sec	0.19	??????
Linux		HP-1	        100^6bits/sec   no response in >2min.
HP-2		Linux		10^6bits/sec	6.20
Linux 		HP-2		10^6bits/sec    0.41	??????
If I try to run tcp_stream_script from Linux to HP-1, HP-1 doesn't
finish any of the tests within the confidence intervals in 60 seconds,
and runs for an excessively long time.
Any ideas?
