A-sync Speed over Gigabit LAN Ethernet File Transfer

I have a strange problem with transferring files between 2 computers connected to each other through an ethernet cable. Both PCs have on-board gigabit ethernet ports. Aside from the different hardwares, the softwares (especially network settings) are configured almost the same, with Windows 7 x64 etc. Tests have been taken with and witho...

Alternative to Wireshark for raw Ethernet capture over USB-Ethernet adapter

(Apologies: I uninstalled and reinstalled WinPcap and now I can see the extra interface! Suggestion found in Wireshark FAQ. I leave the original question below.) I use WireShark to examine ethernet packet contents at the byte level (in/out of custom FPGA-based hardware). I have a USB-Ethernet adapter to add a second Ethernet port to my...

Manchester Encoding and the Ethernet protocol

Theoretical question here -- the [general] Ethernet protocol uses an 8 byte preamble with an (almost) all 10101010 bit pattern, save for the very last byte. One purpose of this is for sender/receiver synchronization. Since Manchester Encoding can inherently sync the sender and receiver, do you think that the preamble is necessary or re...

How to run cable distance test over ethernet on macbook pro mb985?

I had an EeePC 701 and there was utility called "Atheros Ethernet Utility". The most important feature - it can test ethernet cable and show on what distance it damaged. Are there any analogues for Mac OS? Software, or port for macports? Thank you/ ...
