Abstract
In this paper, experiments carried out to measure data throughput between an LSI 11/23 computer and a VAX 11/750 computer over an Ethernet local area network are described. Data were transferred from the LSI to the VAX in three experiments to study the effect of memory-to-memory, memory-to-disc and disc-to-disc data transfer with respect to packet size and acknowledge window size. The results show data throughput to range from 0.86 to 0.49 Mbits s−1 and suggest where the rate-limiting processes are located.
