GF oddity
by Hal Duston 12 Jun '24

12 Jun '24

All, Here's one for you. I'm trying to transfer a large file between two houses both of which are on GF. The source house has 1G service, and the destination house has 500M service. I can't get a better transfer rate than 1.1MB/s. Reversing the direction, I can achieve a much better 14.2MB/s. The entire path inside both houses is wired, so I've already eliminated WiFi from the equation. I am still plugged into the GF supplied network boxes on both ends. I also compared an internet speed test run at the 500M house during the xfer with one while no xfer was running, and the difference was appropriate. The no-xfer speed test reported just over 500M and the xfer 480M, so the 500M service itself isn't degraded. Thanks, -- Hal Duston hduston(a)gmail.com Kansas City, MO 816-916-7219

Last time I talked to KC Southern they had a fairly small Linux team. They were working to get the systems that had done those things migrated from an old mainframe to a simulation running on RHEL. They also have a Positive Train Control project - that involves a variety of hardware, embedded devices and such. Also human-life critical. > And their location is subject to the KC MO 1% income tax I assume, > unless they're grandfathered out of it somehow for being a railroad? There are apparently some costs incurred in the provision of the city infrastructure. They can not operate on a pro bono basis. -- Jonathan

CPKC is what used to be KC Southern. They were perpetually looking for a linux admin, to the extent that it looked like they couldn't keep them. They do have some interesting projects like train control systems. -- Jonathan
