network test patch revising file sizes used in the HTTP transfer test


The network test uses interface speed as a metric to create files to be transfered in the HTTP tranfer test.   For some system with fast network interfaces (10000MB/sec) and smaller memory, the test files are so large (1.3GB) they use excessive system resources to create and transfer.  

This patch changes the file sizes, dividing the previous calculation by 8, so the dd-produced file should be (128KB block size) * (interface speed / 8).
Comment 6 Caspar Zhang 2011-05-01 10:21:58 UTC 
This bug does not need a Tech Note because of:

1. A Red Hatter reported it
2. It only happened in an intermediate version.
