10.3: Connecting a Mac and a PC via IP over FireWire
Authored by: scrutton on Dec 14, '03 08:52:36PM

I've done this and found 12 MB/s throughput. I was hoping to see significantly faster transfers but ActivityMonitor shows the CPU is pegged by FTP/IP/FW. This was done with a 1.25 GHz PowerBook G4. CPU load is 60% ftpd and 40% kernel_task.

Can anyone suggest any tweaks to speed this up?

SMB transfers are quite choppy and clock in at only 5 MB/s.
