Performances of RSync

  • Good morning all,


    I'm sure this is something that has been discussed already but I seem not to be able to find any reference at the moment.


    I have a couple of servers, both with a number of NICs (4 and 6, to be precise) configured with LACP (the switch supports LACP).
    Now, I was expecting NAS-to-NAS transfers to hit approx. 4 Gbps (the slowest server has 4 * 1Gbps interfaces) however I can see I a only able to reach 1Gbps as, apparently, rsync only creates a single TCP session which cannot span multiple NICs.


    I have tried to start multiple rsync jobs concurrently, hoping that this would allow all the bandwidth to be used however that still hit 1 Gbps top.
    I'm sure LACP works just fine as I move from/to each NAS data faster than 1 Gbps (i.e. having 3 wired clients copying from each NAS I can consume ~ 3Gbps).


    Is there any way to tell RSync to take advantage of all the available bandwidth and spread the load across multiple NICs configured with Link Aggregation?


    Thank you.

  • Hi @ness1602, thank you for your reply.


    That's what I realized, is there any way to use all the bandwidth in a 1:1 connection?
    Perhaps by switching from LACP to balanced-xor/balancer-rr or other bonding algorithms?


    Thank you.
