Paralell WLAN/Wifi file transfer slower than sequential?
Assume I have two computers A and B which are connected (through WLAN/Wifi router) in an inhouse net.
Now I have to transfer huge file archives (> 10 GB) from A to B and other huge file archives from B to A.
I could either do this file transfers
1) in parallel (=start copying files from A to B and from B to A at the same time)
or
2) wait until file copying from A to B is finished and then start B to A.
What is faster?
I could imagine that protocol overhead and interrupts in case 1 could slow down throughput.
On the other hand I could use in case 1 unused upload capacity into the opposite direction during download.
Any recommendations for this scenario?
