Thanks. I've done the experiments. The reason is: the 100Mbps ethernet is so fast that it could fill the buffer of bottleneck link very quickly ( Path_mtu, burstness of traffic). There may also exist ACK compression in reverse path . Joe --- Dave Crocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri,

Hi, the network path is: |-(ADSL)\ customer/ --Edge_router---...---Japan Server \-(100Methernet)-/ So, from edge_router to Japan server the path is identical. There is something wrong with both scenarios. A 5 Mbyte file is 40 megabits. With

Hi Joe, divide et impera :-) Put a (FTP-)server in _your_ network to get an idea if the problem is with the edge device (or somewhere in your network) or on the WAN to Japan. The PING may not tell you much about short-term queue problems in a device. As Mikael Abrahamsson wrote use a sniffer

It's generally a bad idea to turn of ethernet autonegotiation unless the equipment at the other side doesn't support it. Yes, we've checked the configuration, both access router interface and customer's ethernet interface are forced to be (100Mbsp, full duplex). And, there is no CRC
