I'm using Spread (under python) for a file delivery system.
Basically I want to deliver several large files to multiple destinations
simultaneously preferably multicasting them to minimize
network usage. I attached my crude little python test bed.
I got it to work and tested it on two machines on the same
subnet and the performance was underwhelming.
I achieved sustained throughput of 40KB/s for data sent using
multicast with RELIABLE_MESS and FIFO_MESS protocols.
The machines both have 100 Mb cards.
FTP achieved 600 KB/s.
Do you have any recommendations about how to tune
Spread to increase the performance?
I couldn't find anything in the doc. :(
