- Your question is unanswerable without more info.
-
- But for comparison: An A2000 with A2065 running AS225R1 NFS client
- being served by a Sun can get about 150kbytes/s on a single large file
- copy. If you're doing something else with the file system, it can be
- slower. AmigaVision will save at about 10k/s in the same configuration
- for e.g. (it hits a worst case function).
-
- An A3000 can get double the speed of the A2000 with all else being
- equal, because of the faster CPU.
-
- Using A4066es and fast enough Amigas with Envoy, you can get 500k.
-
- If you write your own TCP/IP code to blast packets out as fast as you
- can, and the net is otherwise idle, and ... ?
-
- Then you might get close to your 1M/s.
