Considering the type of machines you have it could be a storage limitation, i.e. you're not going to get Gbit speeds from USB2 attached storage. Check 'ethtool <network_device_name>' on each of those systems, possibly one or more are connected at lower than 1Gbit. > Do we have a utitity that for troubleshooting purposes, can take the > address of one of those machines, and somewhat like traceroute, but > report the bandwidth capability of every box in that path including this > machine and target addresses abilities? You can test the bandwidth with iperf. Run the server on one system and test from each of the other systems. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
