  22. Conclusions The MB-NG Project has achieved: • Continuous memory to memory data transfers with an average user data rate of 940 Mbit/s for over 24 hours using the HighSpeed TCP stack. • Sustained high throughput data transfers of 2 GByte files between RAID0 disk systems using Gridftp and bbcp. • Transfers of 2 GByte files using the http protocol from the standard apache Web server and HighSpeed TCP that achieved data rates of ~725 Mbit/s. • Ongoing operation and comparison of different Transport Protocols- Optical Switched Networks • Detailed investigation of Routers, NICs & end-host performance. • Working with e-Science groups to get high performance to the user. • Sustained data flows at Gigabit rates are achievable • Use Server quality PCs not Supermarket PCs + care with interfaces • Be kind to the Wizards ! e-Science All Hands Meeting 1-4 Sep 03 R.
