[HECnet] LAT vs CTERM

Look at it this way Sampsa: LAT degrades by a factor 3 while CTERM is better than half the performance. LAT nor CTERM know they're travelling over an extended LAN. So I'd think CTERM behaves better than LAT :-) ------Origineel bericht------ Van: sampsa at mac.com Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: [HECnet] LAT vs CTERM Verzonden: 2 januari 2013 12:20 So just for fun I did some speed experiments with CTERM and LAT using Kermit to send the same file. WAN connection is KUHAVX (Finland) to RHESUS (UK). CTERM LAN: 30,000 CPS WAN: 16,400 CPS LAT: LAN: 100,000 CPS WAN: 30,000 CPS So LAT is as fast over a WAN link as CTERM is over a LAN..What's wrong with CTERM? sampsa
