Posted September 17, 2015 Amazon: http://geni.us/UfwNCIX: http://bit.ly/1Qjmxju I decided it was time for a networking upgrade here at the office, and I would NOT settle for second best. So, full 10 gigabit it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 17, 2015 first! hello! is it me you're looking for? ᴾC SᴾeCS ᴰoWᴺ ᴮEᴸoW Spoiler Desktop: X99-PC CPU: i7 5820k Mobo: X99 Deluxe Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3 RAM: 32GB DDR4 GPU: GTX 1080 Storage: 1TB 850 Evo, 1TB HDD, bunch of external hard drives PSU: EVGA G2 750w Peripherals: Logitech G502, Ducky One 711 Audio: Xonar U7, O2 amplifier (RIP), HD6XX Monitors: 4k 24" Dell monitor, 1080p 24" Asus monitor Laptop: -Overkill Dell XPS Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it -Crapbook Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive... A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018. Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

Posted September 17, 2015 Think I know what the problem is: crosstalk. LinusTechTips has a high density in terms of its network load at any given time. Crosstalk is more likely to occur when you have a lot of cables bundled together. Although he is using cat6a cables, he probably bought the cheapest available. Cheap cables usually mean lower quality shielding. Also Linus is probably at the maximum when where come to transferring 10 gigabit on cat6a (100m). Although I don't know the drop off rate for cat 6a. I do know that when cats for crosstalk is high cat 6 cables the effective length for transferring 10 gigabit drops from 55 meters to about 30 meters. About 40% reduction.- might want to try to use cat 7 or cat 7a cables. I think cat 8 has been finalized but I doubt you'll be able to find anything at a reasonable price. And again if crosstalk is the issue the effective length for transferring 10 gigabit with cat 6a cables, using the 40% reduction, should be about 60 meters or 180 feet. Edit I was thinking that some evidence if the 40% reduction is showing up in data rates. If he can only get 600MBps he might be able to test my theory by running one cat 7a ( terminated withGG45 collectors) to the computer that's having the worst connection. the cable would need to run with the cat6a cables to rule out crosstalk.

Posted September 17, 2015 Nice video, it's cool to see LTT going in this direction. I would prefer to see more "enterprise-grade" based videos instead of all the gamer stuff. That being said, the video is a little disingenuous. 10 gigabit networking in the home is still not cost effective. Unless your pockets are lined by sponsors or you have a very meaty salary, 10 gigabit RJ45 ethernet networking is a hard sell. The 8 port switch goes for around 760~, and the 12 port even more at a whopping 1200 bucks. Neither or which have really saturated the second hand markets yet. Additionally the network cards themselves are pretty costly. I'm no stranger to the best offer system on ebay and recognize it's how I got a lot of my sweet deals. There's no telling how low of an offer the north american sellers of the X540-T2 cards will go but I wouldn't bet anything under 250. Maybe 200 if they've having a slow month. That's still a grand to outfit just 5 machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 17, 2015 Some nice tips with the buffers, got to try that. I have intel 520-da2 cards with DA cables into a d-link 28 port switch with 4xSFP+ slots. Have better send than receive speed, so perhaps use some settings show in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 17, 2015 I would recommend setting the Jumbo frames equal at every end. Meaning at the switch, client and server side. The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) needs to be the same:When the clients (NIC's) are set lower (x), the pc needs to chop (fragment) the data into the size it is set to (x), while the switch can handle more (y).Also a mismatch between those two could cause errors (datapacket drops etc) which results in worse connection (server sending larger size's, which the switch can handle, but the NIC on the client is set lower => fragmentation of the packet.. loss of speed)The inconsistency I can't explain immediately.. Does it occur with the same file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure the cabling being used is UTP (unshielded) and not S/FTP or F/UTP etc. Also the Cat standards are strict gradings, you meet them or you don't, cheap cable or not. This is similar to the myth of HDMI premium cables. Also LMG cabling and data rate density isn't that high. I run 10Gb from my desktop to server at home using Intel X540-T1 directly connected, no switch, using self terminated Cat 6 cabling over a distance of about 40m-50m. I can saturate the link at full 10Gb using SMB3 and iSCSI. It's hard to give good networking advice by just watching a video and listening to a description of what has been tried but my advise to @LinusTech would be to use iperf to test the network link, would show if it is actually a network throughput issue or something else. Edit: Woops he's already used a similar tool, teach me to reply to a post about a video I haven't watched in ages then re-watch it after posting.
