Look into
     1) router hops
     2) MTU sizes and all those other such parameters
     3) the network paths themselves
     4) CLIENT COMPRESSION  (often times the client can compress and
     transmit the compressed data faster than it can send the uncompressed
     data)

Subject: Network data transfer rate

We have 1 ADSM server and 2 node ( unix box ) backup unix files to that
ADSM server. Node_1 is different machine with ADSM server, while Node_2
are same as ADSM server. And we found that

in Node_1 : it take ~20min to backup 3GB data file
in Node_2 : it take ~10hr to backup ~30GB

It seen totally different of the backup speed with this 2 node backup.
we found that the "network data transfer rate" for Node_1 is very high
as compared with Node_2.

As I am not familiar with ADSM, so I would like to know any
configuration or hint can I know what is the big different for that.

Thanks for any comments.

Davis Yee.
