Optimising Data Sharing Efficiency
Optimising Data Sharing Efficiency
You're facing lower-than-expected speeds between your Linux devices despite the router's 1000Mbps capacity. The issue might stem from how traffic is routed or what protocols are in use. Opening FTP could help test bandwidth, but consider using a different protocol like SFTP or SSH for more control and potentially better performance.
The Pi4 comes with a solid PCIe NIC, which is a notable advantage. The Pi3 seems to lack hardware AES offloading, which can significantly slow down SCP speeds. Even with powerful PC components, poor SCP/SFTP performance is common. To avoid this, I opted for OpenVPN to transfer files securely over FTP to my VPS, as it was much faster.
