I want to send images at maximum speed over tcpip (not udp) to another computer. The maximum speed I achieve with sending data across the 100Mbit network is approx. 2.5 MByte. I need at least 5 MByte in order to have a working application.

I think the data throughput will be better when I change the socket-option SO_SNDBUF to a larger value, but it is limited to 208896 bytes. How can I make this send-buffer larger?

Are there other options to speed up communication?

Message: 52590 what hardware are you using ? we get pretty much line rate with the Blackfin on-chip mac (so a BF537-STAMP). simple test is to use wget and have it fetch a large file and write it to /dev/null.

I use the bluetechnix tcm-bf537.

I have a simple server-socket, when a client connects to it, It starts sending data blocks of 500KByte in an continuous loop. I use send in a blocking manner.

The client is capable of receiving up to 10MB/s of data. I tested this by running the same program on the linux host PC.

Message: 52596 that isnt a completely fair comparison ... your host pc has a lot more resources at its disposal

make sure you are putting the buffers for the MAC into L1 (look in your kernel configuration menu)

also, run a simple wget test as i suggested before trying to diagnosis your app

I want to send data from my embedded system to a host PC. How does that relate to wget?
