 Re: CP Throughput
I to have seen this behavior. I moved from a 3 Mb/sec connection to a 30 Mb/sec and have an average throughput of 1.5 Mb/sec (150kB/sec) for HTTP downloads. Ironically I got about the same on my 3 Mb/sec connection. If I use the same notebook and Internet link outside the firewall I can average about 10Meg. I know that some sites throttle and expect that, but the behavior is consistent and I rarely exceed 2Mb/sec in a transfer
This seems to be with only HTTP transfers. If I use ftp client I can achieve faster transfers (average 8x faster). I have seen this behavior with both NGX R60 & R61.
Per SmartView Monitor the CPU utilization is low (2-3%) and connections rarely excee 1500. I do see occasional spikes on interface utilization to 20Meg and this normally corresponds to SMTP or FTP traffic.
Currently running R61 on a Dell PE2650 with 3GHz processor and 2Gig of RAM.
I do not use FloodGate
I do not have QOS policy.
This is driving me absolutely nuts …any suggestions would be appreciated!  |
