Craig, Great article on benchmarking Communication Time in this month's *Computer*. The article looks at the combined computer and network activities under specified loads to assess both performance and bottlenecks. The first experiment looks at a 10 Mbps ethernet LAN and a number of test stations: a Sparc 20 (SBus, 50 MHz), a generic 486 (EISA, 66 MHz), a Sparc 5 (SBus, 75 MHz), a SunOS 4.14 (SBus, 85 MHz), ans an SGI Indy (PCI, 100 MHz). All had 32 MB of RAM and a 1.2 GB SCSI hard drive. The total data transferred was 32 Mbytes and the Mbps varied from 1.87 to 2.87 Mbps. The same group is going to apply this benchmarking system to high speed networks. It is interesting to consider that the architecture of machines attached to the LAN including the software needs to be carefully considered - since speed on this benchmark did not necessarily correlate with processor speed or test station cost.
