Limiting the number of simultaneous upload
Posted: 2014-04-20 03:10
Hello everyone,
I've set up a FTP server for my LAN, and I've made some observations.
When I upload a single file on the server, I get a certain throughput, usually 12Mb/sec
When I upload two files simultaneously, I get a certain throughput per file, usually 3Mb/sec
I've done a little math in my life, and I think 2x 3Mb/sec isn't as much as 12Mb/sec.
Let's say I have also done a bit of computer science in my life and admit that the time required to sync the different copy threads in both client and servers are responsible for the diminushed total throughput (actually it's just a guess, I might be totally wrong).
Third and last observation, when I try to upload more than 2 files, it justs queues the different files and upload 2 at a time.
So here is my question : in order to always get the maximum uploading throughput, can I limit the number of simultaneous upload to 1 ? But still queuing the remaining file to transfer, that is.
Thank you for your responses.
Regards,
