Interesting in every test the DS1216 preformed
better with network traffic than without. You also can note the very
large increase in transfer rates from windows to Linux, with 3 times
more through put than windows.
Sisoft Network Bench:
Another interesting set of tests, it is
exactly the same as their reference bench. Does Sisoft
actually bench networks, or do they just detect your setting and
say, yeah you can run at this?
IGMP attack:
Click Picture to Enlarge
Wow! The theoretical max
throughput of a 100 Full duplex device is 25 Meg/s that both sending
and receiving at 12.5 Megs/s. As you can see this switch has a
very high throughput, 12.0176 Meg/s outgoing and 11.362Meg/s
incoming with a total throughput of 23.3974 Meg/s. Plus, never once
did the collision light blink!
MAC address refresh:
From what we could see the Mac address buffer was
refreshed instantly when you plugged a cable into a port. This did
cause a 250K/s drop in the network throughput but it quickly
returned to normal.
Final Comments and Conclusions:
Overall, I am very happy with the DS1216. It
preformed great and is relatively inexpensive considering what it
brings to the plate. The network throughput on this switch is
amazing!
Compex may be a company that not many of us have
heard before but they are definitely producing some quality
products. I look forward to seeing more of their networking
units in the future.
Pros:
- High Network throughput
- Instant MAC address buffer refresh
- 512K Data Buffer
- 8K MAC address Buffer
- Relatively inexpensive
- No DC converter, uses normal PC power cable
Cons:
