bidirectional throughput. This was while continuous, full standard-Ethernet-frame traffic
was occurring on the active 1000Base-T port.
• The small red bars on each bar show Ethernet traffic achieved link rate on the rx6600
reaching 1895 megabits of application data per second for transmit, 1895 megabits
per second for receive and 3768 bi-directional traffic on the active Gigabit Ethernet
ports. This was while continuous disk traffic was occurring on the active FC port. .
• The overall link utilization is 82% or greater while continuous Fibre channel and
Ethernet traffic was occurring on all the active ports.
NOTE:
* bd = Bidirectional Operation (reads and writes simultaneously).
** MB/s = 1,000,000 (10
