ASUS XG-C100C 10GBase-T Network Adapter Review

PassMark Advanced Network Test

Fixed Block Size

To test the maximum throughput speed that a network connection can handle, a fixed block size of 16384 Bytes is sent from the client to the server over a period of five minutes. The higher block size will allow the transfer rate to stay as high as possible – in the same way that large files transfer from one drive to another quicker than lots of small files of the same total size.

Variable Packet Size

In a real world situation, the blocks of data that pass through a network adapter are not of the same size each time, so to give a more realistic impression of how an adapter performs, the adapter is once again tested at each range for a period of five minutes. This time, however, the block size will vary from 32 Bytes up to 16384 Bytes in increasing steps of 148.7 Bytes each time.
