Performance of network slow

Copying files to or from redirected drives, printing jobs over the network, or executing remote commands yields unduly slow responses, for one of the following reasons:

• The network segment has overloaded. Redesign your network to reduce the workload.

• The network generates too many broadcasts. Consider breaking the LAN into smaller segments.

• NFS generates a high amount of network traffic. If you rely heavily on NFS mounts for remote file systems, replace some by installing TAS on the remote hosts. If a client has to connect to a TAS host and file service requests route over an NFS connection to another computer, twice as much network traffic takes place than when the client connects directly to the second computer.

• TCP packet buffers or window sizes require modification. The procedure for modification on clients depends on the brand of TCP/IP installed. Check the documentation for the client's TCP/IP. In TAS, check, and possibly adjust, the values of the recvbuf and sendbuf attributes, using the tntransport command.
