This is a post on the ATHM thread. We had an interesting performance measurement today. A DSL line went into our office to replace the ISDN line. My partner ftp's a test file to our web server via ISDN and gets 158Kbytes/sec. He's impressed. Wow, he thinks, that's fast. Same file over the DSL line, 65Kbytes/sec. He sends me the results. This DSL line is a rip, he says, it's less than half as fast as ISDN. Er, says I, what's in that file you used to test with? That's one of your standard files full of zeroes, yes? (Silence) The ISDN line runs PPP which does data compression. The DSL line doesn't. Very interesting ...
