Multi-Threaded SSH/SCP
neo writes "Chris Rapier has presented a paper describing how to dramatically increase the speed of SCP networks. It appears that because SCP relies on a single thread in SSH, the crypto can sometimes be the bottleneck instead of the wire speed. Their new implementation (HPN-SSH) takes advantage of multi-threaded capable systems dramatically increasing the speed of securely copying files. They are currently looking for potential users with very high bandwidth to test the upper limits of the system."
Hi, I've invented a new way of downloading pron^H^H^H^H^H^Hcopying files across a network. If you have uber bandwidth, please contact me urgently!
I wrote my first program at the age of six, and I still can't work out how this website works.
not that scp as-is isn'--stalled--
Wally: "My proposed work plan for the year is to stress-test our product under severe network conditions. I will accomplish this by downloading large image files from the busiest servers on the net."
(PHB rejects suggestion)

Wally: "I was this close to making it my job to download naughty pictures."
Dilbert : "It's just as well; I would have had to kill you."

Oh, I can't help quoting you because everything that you said rings true
Preferably, we would like to test it any very high bandwidth systems running Linux kernels version 2.6.17 to 2.6.24.1.
According to file size and type, it must be Island.Fever.4.PROPER.avi
Crowds were shocked to discover that multi-threaded software runs faster on a multi-core system, it was hard to contain the excitement over the discovery which could revolutionise software development!
"They are currently looking for potential users with very high bandwidth to test the upper limits of the system."
You comcast users can forget about it, then.
