Low POS throughput on ML100T cards

We have a new OC48 Ring utilizing 3 15454 Nodes and have ML100T cards in each node connected in a "ring" via STS3 circuits to the POS interfaces. On each of the ML100T cards I have several subnets on the fastethernet ports and am routing via eigrp. Latency is very good but my throughput seems very low. Doing file transfers my max troughput is around 90KB/s, which seems low for a 155mb link. Any ideas...would RPR be a better choice instead of using the POS links as point-to-point links? Thanks

Are you seeing CRC and/or input errors on any of the ML cards? There is a bug that may address your issue: CSCsb43596 - CRC errors for 5% traffic out of ML100T ports:
Symptom: ML100T cards send out approximately 5% of frames (frame size 1518) with a bad CRC.
Conditions: This can occur in the following scenario.
1. Autonegotiation is disabled. Speed set to 100/ Duplex to Full.
2. ML startup configuration is saved on TCC and the ports are enabled.
3. Card is rebooted.
Certain ports ( at random) will display CRC errors coming out of them. The failing ports is not always consistent: sometimes after a reboot, different ports will show the CRC errors.
Workaround: Disconnect and reconnect the cable, and the errors go away. Errors also go away if the port is shut/no shutdown.
You can also try resetting the ML cards in each of the nodes to see if the throughput improves.

  • Extremely low message throughput with MQ 3.6

    We performed some load tests to determine maximum throughput of the Sun JMS framework when used in conditions similar to our application.
    The achieved throughput is extremely low: around 10 messages / second while we expected around 100. Could you please verify what may be the reason?
    We encountered one particular problem: the time of closing JMS producers increases much during the test. Message throughput decreases proportionally. Time periods of other phases of the JMS API usage remain constant. What can be the reason?
    detailed information:
    Our configuration used:
    server machine:
    cpu: Intel Celeron 2.8 Ghz
    ram: 1GB
    os: CentOS release 4.4 (Final), 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL
    application server: Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.1 2005Q2 UR2
    java version: 1.5.0_04
    we use default imqbroker configuration
    client machine:
    Intel Celeron 2Ghz
    ram: 512MB
    os: Fedora Core release 3, 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3
    java version: 1.4.02
    Test description (find attached test unit sources presenting our way of using JMS API):
    Load test is performed by running a number of concurrent test units against the JMS broker. Number of units is constant in time. Additionally, every unit test at the end of its life cycle launches another unit to keep long test time perspective.
    Each test unit is self-contained. It contains of a producer and a consumer (MessageListener). It sends messages to itself . Also each message unit sleeps for some time to simulate message processing.
    Messages are non-persistent, no durable subscriptions are used. All units are using one shared Queue for whole messaging. Message selectors are utilized to guarantee that messages are delivered to intended receiver.
    By this test we wanted to determine a maximum value of message throughput for which all messages are delivered successfully and in some reasonable time (say less than 1 minute).
    Some variations of test units are possible, e.g. JMS connections and/or sessions can be open/closed for every sent message or shared among multiple producers. But (contrary to our expectations) we encountered no visible differences in message throughput and message delivery time.

    and
    1.Check Sun Java Enterprise (or the Sun Java Application Platform Suite),
    2.Click Get Download and Media
    3. Then select Systems for windows (the bar at the top)
    I beleive you can get Message Queue 3.6 SP3 from it, by only installing the Message Queue component.
    Note: it is a large download (500 Mb for Application Platform), especially for Sun Java Enterprise...

  • Need a low profile bracket for XtremeGamer card

    /?I've recently purchased an SB XtremeGamer sound card which unfortunately came with a regular rear bracket. I need to get the low profile one for my current build. Does anybody know where I can locate one for a decent price? Does Creative carry it any more?
    This is the bracket that I need. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Sorry, I don't think the profile bracket is available through Creative. These brackets are usually included with certain models, but not sold separately.

  • 2012 R2 DirectAccess with very low client throughput

    I have a three-node Windows NLB Server 2012 R2 DirectAccess farm.  These three single purpose servers have good specs (8 cores, 32GB RAM, etc etc).  The problem that I am seeing is that the clients all have very low throughput on each session (between
    6 and 8 MBit "aka 1 MByte" per second).  This performance spec is linear since for each concurrent client that you add their throughput is also in that range.  Clients are all high-spec notebooks with Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64.  Performance
    on these clients is excellent except when transiting the DirectAccess server.  If the same client connects through AnyConnect VPN their throughput is excellent.  Additionally, when clients connect to the DA server plugged into the external traffic
    switch (aka same network as the DA external interface) the performance is identical so this isn't a WAN performance issue.  The utilization on all devices (DA servers, DA clients, network hardware) is very low so it does not appear to be a resource problem. 
    I confirmed that NULL CIPHER is used on clients so the traffic isn't being double encrypted.  This NLB started life 2 years ago as a Windows Server 2012 environment on different hardware and I've had the exact same issue.  It works "ok"
    but not the throughput that the capacity planning documentation indicates.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mark Ringo

    Hi Mark,
    Which transition technologies does the client use to connect the DirectAccess Server?
    Using IP-HTTPS for DirectAccess connectivity has higher overhead and lower performance than Teredo. If the DirectAccess client is using IP-HTTPS instead of Teredo, the DirectAccess client will have a lower performance connection.
    When examining performance issues, one of the first places to look is the display of the
    ipconfig command on the DirectAccess server, which indicates the type of encapsulation based on the interface that has a global IPv6 address assigned.
    For detailed information, please refer to the link below,

  • 915Pneo2_platinum+P4GhzPrescott+ADATA_DDR2_533 low memory throughput efficiency!

    Hello all,
       I am confused, because I do not understand, why memory benchmarks(for ex. Sisoft Sandra 2005) show only 3300 MB/s RAM bandwith and also 51% memory throughput efficiency!
    My hardware is: MSI 915Pneo2_platinum + P4Ghz - Prescott + 2x 512MB modules (ADATA DDR2-533) in dual channel interleaved mode.
    My Software: Windows XP SP2, Bios 1.5, latest MSI drivers, inf driver for 915P intel chipset
    Other users with similiar hardware have more than 5000 MB/s memory benchmark and more than 80% memory throughput efficiency!
    Can someone explain the reason ?
    P.S. I have used different benchmarks (Sandra+Aida32).
    Thank you.

    Well, but now (with BIOS V1.4) I have other problems: sometimes (usually after hibernation) system does not start correctly. BIOS freezes before memcheck.(I have to press hard reset button and then system starts correctly.) I tried to disable quick boot option, it helps a little, but problem remains.
    How long should we wait, till new, stable and powerful BIOS is released ?
    P.S. Conclusion: I made first BIOS update (to V1.5), because system often did not boot from SATA hdd Maxtor.. With new BIOS this problem was fixed, but memory performance issue appeared..Now I have good performance, but again there is problem with BIOS post (freeze on memcheck)

  • Very low wireless throughput, though bandwidth great for wired LAN (all on a WRT320N)

    Hi,
    here is my issue: even after a complete reset, I experience very low bandwidth (~192kbps) wireless through my WRT320N router, even though a wired connection (through the router, of course) sees all the bandwidth my ISP provides. Also, my computer says it is on a 300 Mbpn (802.11n) network, so I guess the issue is not about falling back to a downgraded connection after some negotiation. Reception should not be an issue either, nothing changed when I was only an inch from the router...
    What can go with routing, esp. only through the wireless part of my LAN?
    Can it be an issue with Mac OS X 10.6.3? (The problem surfaced the first time I tried to use this router after my software update.)
    This makes my Internet connection barely usable, so understably, I am very keen on finding an answer.
    Thanks for helping me!
    Laszlo

    Try setting your Beacon Interval to 50, Set Fragmentation Threshold and RTS Threshold to 2304 under Wireless > Advanced Wireless. Save the settings. Reboot your router by unplugging it and plugging it back in.

  • Lower PC Card slot on 1999 PowerBook (Wall Street)

    I have added a USB port via a dedicated PC card. If I insert it in the upper slot it works fine (e.g. I can print), but if I insert it in the lower slot it doesn't (e.g. I can't print). But if I eject the USB PC Card from the lower slot with the computer running, the Finder crashes, as if the lower slot was kind of inoperable, but kind of detected anyway...
    Any diagnosis tips? Is it just a setting somewhere?
    Thanks!

    1999 PowerBook (Wall Street)   Mac OS 9.1.x  

    Carlos,
    Both slots on the Wallstreet should work with any PC card with one exception. The lower slot also has Zoomed Video support and that is where the DVD Decoder PC card is used if playing DVDs.
    If the upper slot works properly but not the lower, odds are there is a hardware problem with PCMCIA/CardBus cage; this is the mechanism into which you insert the PC card.
    If this Wallstreet was bought used, it probably came to you with this problem. The lower slot may have been heavily used by the previous owner or it just failed with normal use as mechanical devices sometimes do.
    When you insert the card in the lower slot, does the PC card icon appear on the desktop?
    Are you using a combo PC card (both FireWire and USB) or just USB?
    I will mention this anyway, but I am sure you are aware...'processor cycling' must be disabled in the Energy Saver > Advanced Settings for both Battery and Power Adapter when using a USB PC card, otherwise the 'book will freeze.
    Please do not cross-post...

  • Replace SONET/SDH over ATM cards

    SONET circuit prices are a deal that we can't refuse. Looking to replace ATM-oc3/CES modules in the 7206VXR with the PA-POS-OC3SMI and t1 cards. Has anyone done this before? Order a noncatenated STM1 for 3 voice t1's and the rest IP data?
    Thanks

    Brad,
    You'll be stranding 25/28 of the STS-1 you use for voice T1's. You could benefit from a low-end SONET platform that features Low Order Virtual Concatenation. This will allow transport of several T1's while using the rest of that STS, and the other empty STS's, for data transport. The Cisco ONS 15310 does this nicely. It has just begun shipping, and its ethernet card will be available in April.
    Hope this helps.

  • Extremely slow wireless throughput on WRVS4400N

    I am getting extremely low wireless throughput on my new WRVS4400N. I am using it with 802.11g laptops, and it doesn't matter what mode I put it in - g only, b/g, g/n, or b/g/n. It connects at 54 mbits/s, and as soon as I start to send data, it drops down to 11, 5.5, or even 1 mbps. It happens with several different laptops with g cards, and none of the wireless settings I've tried seem to help.
    It appears other people have had this problem. Is this a known problem? SHould I just return it?

  • Read-Only SD Card(s) - used to be able to read/write

    I used to be able to import photos into iPhoto and then delete them from the card but this does not work any more (I do not even get prompted any more) as the card(s) is now read-only (Get Info tells me "Sharing & Permissions: You can only read"). Indeed if I try to delete, drag and drop a file onto it or even erase from disk utility, it will not let me.
    Now, most threads dealing with this issue point to the card reader being faulty (or even the lock switch being in the wrong position). I am fairly sure this is not the case here as:
    1) the behaviour occurs both through the built-in card-reader and the camera connection and
    2) the camera does not "think" that the card is read-only, it can take new pictures, delete or format the card (note that I tried to "lock" the card with the switch and in that case the camera complains and cannot do anything with the card).
    Moreover this occurs with all three cards.
    On the other hand, my IPhone connected via USB is not locked to "read-only" (for example IPhoto asks me and does delete photos after import).
    Thanks very much for any help on this - this is very puzzling!

    If you are using a DSLR camera, like for example a Canon 60D, there may be an option to use a "Low-Level Formatting" on the card. This should make it writable when putting it into the computer.
    To test this (and confirm it works) I did the following:
    Hardware Used:
    Canon 60D camera body
    Sandisk 32GB SDHC Extreme Card
    Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2010 model) with built-in SD card slot.
    Steps:
    Place SDHC card into camera (SD card may work as well). Navigate through menu until you arrive at settings that allow the camera to format the card. There may be an option to format it "low-level", which you would then select.
    -Note that all files on card will be erased permanently.-
    After the camera formats, eject the card from the camera, and place inside the built-in SD slot on the Macbook.
    The card should automatically mount, containing both read and write priviledges.
    Hope that helps.

  • Memory Error Card!!

    My Canon power shot SX 160 IS is only one month old and I am receiving a "Memory Card Error" Help?

    Do you low level format the memory card after you transferred the pictures to your computer? If not, do it in the future.
    If you have pictures you want to recover from your memory card, use Photorec.

  • Mac Mini mid 2011 SSD HDD lower upper position

    German
    Hallo,
    bin mir nicht sicher wo genau auf welcher Position bei dem Modell MacMini mid 2011 die HDD und SDD angeschlossen werden muss.
    Für mich reinlogisch gesehen wegen der Wärmeentwicklung müsste die HDD auf der Upper Pos. sein und die SSD auf der Lower Pos. oder spielt das keine Rolle ?
    Würde gerne die Kingston SSD Sata 6 GB/s einbauen und die Hitachi HDD. Dual Kabel Kit besitze ich.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure about which position must the SSD and HDD connected on my MacMini mid 2011.
    For my logic, for the heat development must the HDD at the upper position and the SSD in the lower position. Or doesn't matter in which Position are the disk drive are connect.
    I would like install the Kingston SSD and Hitachi HDD and an Dual Cable Kit got on my own.

    It does not matter. That model was also sold with tow rotating HDs installed.

  • Where can I find video cards compatible with my old macs?

    I have 4 mac G4s I am using for an installation at a gallery. Two are Sawtooth and the other two I believe are yelp. I need to put additional video cards in them.
    I am looking for video cards that can run dual monitors. I have been looking for
    mac compatible PCI video cards that run at 2x.
    Locally no stores I visited carry mac-compatible graphics cards. I haven't been to the Apple store yet because I have never found a product there that was useful for these machines, they're just too old.
    Online I have found at macsales.com
    RADEON™ PCI Mac Edition by ATI
    for $100
    and at yourmacstore.com
    ATI RADEON™ 7000 PCI Mac Edition
    for $50
    Does anyone know if either of these will run dual monitors? If they will run on my G4s?
    Any suggestions of what kind of card I can use and where I might find them at the best price?
    g4 sawtooth and yelp   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The 7000 supports only a single VGA monitor; the Radeon PCI Mac Edition supports one VGA and one DVI monitor connection - you could use a DVI-to-VGA adapter to drive dual VGA monitors.
    Both are PCI cards and the performance will be slightly lower than using an AGP card, but you benefit from the savings in cost. Getting four AGP-compatible cards would be much more expensive.

  • Iphoto wont recognize memory card to load pictures

    all of a sudden iphoto wont recognize the memory card to import pictures. when you put card in reader iphoto launches but you dont see the card on the left hand side and it doesnt ask you to import the pictures. If you remove the card you get device removal error - then card appears on left and import button shows up but nothing happens when you push the button??
    If you go to Finder the card is there and i can "select all" and drag them to iphoto. This is really strange - please help?

    If your card shows up in the Finder then you can still import from inside iPhoto. Do File > Import to Library, then navigate to the camera card. You can preview the photos, select the ones you want to import, and import them to iPhoto. This is actually my preferred method, since it allows me to choose exactly which photos I want to upload from my camera.
    Don't remove the card reader from the USB port until you have ejected it properly. You can do that from in the Finder. Click on the little triangle eject symbol next to the name of the card (below your HD icon). When the card disappears from the list it is properly ejected and you may safely disconnect the card reader.
    I don't know why the card suddenly stopped appearing in the iPhoto Source List. One thing you can try is to use your camera to do a low-level format of the card. This has been known to improve a card's performance. The second thing you can try is to delete iPhoto's preference file. Close iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist, then move that file to the trash. You'll have to reset iPhoto's preferences back to your liking after you launch it.
