Hi Vivek, As I mentioned in the private reply, you need to take two snapshots of netstat output (over 10 sec interval for example) and calculate delta between corresponding bytes/sent values (also for bytes received values) to see whether the TCP traffic is anywhere near your network link bandwidth. If it is you're experiencing network link bandwidth issue. If it isn't then it's something else (like wrong TCP buffersize settings but it could also indicate a bottleneck in your (V)LAN infrastructure) -- Regards, Tanel Poder http://blog.tanelpoder.com <http://blog.tanelpoder.com/> _____ From: VIVEK_SHARMA [mailto:VIVEK_SHARMA@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 15:59 To: Tanel Poder; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; mwf@xxxxxxxx; rjamya; nigel.thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: N/w Bottleneck Check under Benchmark Load ?
