I’m currently in the process of performance profiling. We have a basic client/server application. Would the TCP transfer speed be different if I ran client/server on the same machine (localhost) vs across two computers on a LAN?
TCP transfer speed will be! because if you ran it on same computer it will forward packets locally without even touching LAN and network adapter.
But overall speed of client+server may be better on different machines, especially if you do not communicate with server too often.
