I tested it on the only situation I had where it was even remotely worth |
| 12 |
the effort to try it: NFS over TCP via an old and overutilized router: |
| 13 |
No measurable effect. I guess a web or mail server (read: something that |
| 14 |
is not primarily bandwidth constrained and where latency matters) might |
| 15 |
benefit more. But then again, how do you measure that reliably? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
You also have to consider where the client might be. A long distance, |
| 18 |
high bandwidth connection will benefit from different congestion control |
| 19 |
mechanisms than a local low bandwidth connection. |
