Bandwidth Problems with Freebsd 5.x

[fbsd_user]

Your testing is way to general to make the blanket statement
that something is wrong with FreeBSD.

You say you did a transfer between boxes but give no details how you
did it or what operating system is on the sending and receiving boxes.
Did you use FTP or ssh? Ssh has know buffer size problems between
un-like operating system a each end that cause massive slowness.

Check the list archives for the last 5 days for subject "High
Performance SSH/SCP - HPN-SSH" to get the thread.

I made the tests on the two boxes => 0 % packet loss.

I man an other interesting test. I try to transfert between the BSD
Box
and a server located at home behind my 1MB/s ADSL Line. Here are the
results :

FreeBSD box => Workstation at home : 300 kB/s
Debian box on the same network  => Workstation at home : 950 kB/s.

This test confirms cleraly that there is a problem with the BSD, I
guess.

Could it be a bug from the VR driver ?
