Default Performance differences Remoting with http and binary - 10-26-2006 , 01:31 AM






I use .Net Framework 1.1 with Remoting channel= http and formatter=binary.
The remoting server components are hosted as webservice in IIS.
The client application is a WinForms application for file upload and download

I have serveral performance differences, why ?
The quantity of data is say 1 GB downloaded and uploaded in smaller blocks
(< 30 MB)

On my Network (Slow Server):
Upload and download performance is nearly identical for 1 GB it needs 20
minutes

On the the customer network (Notebooks and Desktops are connected on the
same network socket):
When the client (Desktop or Notebook) uploads 1 GB of data it needs 10
minutes.
When a client (Notebook) downloads 1 GB it needs 20 minutes When a client
(Desktop) downloads 1 GB it needs 60 minutes

The problem is the bad performance of the desktop machines.
The hardware of the desktops is faster than the notebooks.


Answers to any of this questions is delighted

Which Network-Settings affect the performance for this remoting
configuration ?

How can different services on notebook and desktop affect the performance ?

Can any remoting settings for the client influence the performance ?

How does this remoting configuration access the network ?

Any other idea or experience ?

Thanks Max

There might be network congestion on the Desktop LAN segment?

Have you tried running a bandwidth test between the server and the
desktops?

The network support team tested the network and says the network is in good
condition. With a different network cards on the desktop the download needs
40 minutes an nobody knows why and what setting can influence this.

The card could be faulty... or come with poorly written drivers. That could
account for some of the performance difference.

I would run some independent performance tests using a utility like TTCP...
if the results are consistent with your remoting issues, then you have a
problem with the network card. Perhaps the card is faulty... or the drivers
are poorly written.

The tests are made with 3 different desktops and 3 different Notebooks, each
with Network cards of the same type

Thanks for your effords, I am glad to get additional advices
