Hi,
I have two LANs connected to each other: one is 1-gigabit ethernet (primarily Netgear GS108 unmanaged switches) and the other is 10-gigabit ethernet (using TP-Link TL-SX105 unmanaged switch and copper wires). On its own each LAN works with expected throughput between computers on the same LAN, so I don't think I have any switch or cabling issue.
But when I connect the two LANs together a strange thing happens. The traffic from the 1-gigabit LAN to the 10-gigabit LAN works fine, with the expected 1-gigabit speed. But the traffic from 10-gigabit LAN to 1-gigabit LAN is very slow, only at around 0.2 gigabit/s. This is even when no other traffic is going on. What could be the cause? Is there a way to avoid it?
I tried swapping cables and/or ports but none of this makes any difference. I also tried to enable jumbo frames but this made things worse (not much though), although it did have the expected benefit on each LAN separately.
Thanks
Bolek
