                    DATA TRANSFER RATES (RAND/UCLA)

   The attached memo indicates data rates typical of our use of RJS at
   UCLA CCN.  Earlier timing tests (similar but more detailed) with UCSB
   showed that most of the time was lost because of: (1) channel
   contention with our disk drive access; (2) our NCP runs at a higher
   priority than batch jobs but lower than text editing and interactive
   graphics; (3) OS interrupt handling is very slow on both ends; (4)
   spooling time of the remote system.




                               MEMORANDUM

TO:      John Heafner
FROM:    Bob Hoffman
COPIES:  Bob Mobley, Herb Shukiar

Here are some of the transmission rates I have noted over the network
between Rand and UCLA.  These were all taken at night when little else
was happening on our 65.

SEND TO UCLA

   # Cards    Blocksize (bytes)  Time (secs)   Rate (bits/secs)
      642        80                   50             8218
      375        80                   30             8000
      509       800                   20            16288

RECEIVE FROM UCLA

   For all figures below, the receiving file has blocksize of 1330
   bytes, and each line is assumed to contain 100 bytes.  This last
   assumption is fairly accurate, since most of the lines were from PL/I
   for which this is a very good number.  Thus, for each rate, the
   number of bytes is the # Lines * 100.

   # Lines          Time (secs)      Rate (bits/secs)
      4900              200             19600
       872               47             14843
      3900              185             16865

RFC 227             DATA TRANSFER RATES (RAND/UCLA)       September 1971


   As you can see from the send figures, blocking makes about a 2:1
   difference.  Memory also recalls a 2 or 3 to 1 advantage for blocking
   on receive when we were getting unblocked files from UCSB.
