[firebase-br] Servidores win 2000e 2003 - parte 3

[Valdir Marcos]

Pessoal, bom dia.

Na documentação do IB6 e na internet eu achei um conjunto de informações sobre o FB em servidores, em especial, sobre o Win NT.
Alguém poderia me dizer se essas informações que passarei nas próximas mensagens são válidas também para os servidores win 2000 e 2003?

Obrigado,

Valdir Marcos

 
Using high-bandwidth network systems

For client/server systems, hardware that supports high network bandwidth is as

important as I/O capacity. The speed of the network often becomes a bottleneck for

performance when many users are making demands on the network simultaneously.


Inexpensive 10 Base-T ethernet equipment is common today, but this technology is bare


minimum for LAN configuration. It is recommended to use at least 100 Base-T for a

high-performance network. The following graph illustrates relative bandwidth rates for

various network interface technology.

The maximum bandwidth of gigabit ethernet extends beyond the scale of the graph

above.

At the time of this writing, most gigabit ethernet network interface cards (NICs) provide

only 600 to 700Mbps bandwidth. Switches, routers, and repeaters also have constrained

capacity. It is expected that the state of this technology will continue to improve.

It is recommended that you research reviews and experiment to learn the true throughput

of all network hardware in your environment. The slowest component ultimately

determines the true throughput.

Tip Network cables develop flaws surprisingly frequently. The result can be sporadic lost

packets, for which operating systems compensate by automatically resending packets.

This translates into mysterious network performance degradation. You should test

network cables regularly. Replacing flawed cables is a low-cost way to keep your

network running at peak efficiency.
