You need to shape your traffic to 40Mbps (or most likely slightly less than that). TCP bursts and your provider drops the traffic, which causes the TCP window to shrink.
Your switches cannot shape, so you would have to do it on the routers. Basically, a classic sub-rate link problem: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/WAN_and_MAN/QoS_SRND_40/QoSIntro_40.html#wp61026 Arie -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of CiscoNSP List Sent: Monday, April 01, 2013 15:51 To: [email protected] Subject: [c-nsp] Performance issue on link Hi, We have a 40Mb link between 2 POPs - Latency ~65m/sec (No packet-loss) POP A Is a 7301 and 2960POP B is a 7200 and 4948 40Mb link is connected to the two switches (L2), and then a trunk link to both routers for all L3. Have a Linux server connected to both switches, and achieve the following performance: IPERF (UDP) POP A -> POP B - 38.5Mb/secPOP B -> POP A - 38.5Mb/sec IPERF (TCP) POP A -> POP B - ~20Mb/secPOP B -> POP A - ~12Mb/sec FTP POP A -> POP B - ~38Mb/secPOP B -> POP A - ~16Mb/sec WGET POP A -> POP B - ~30Mb/sec POP B -> POP A - ~16Mb/sec Any suggestions on why I am seeing poor performance with TCP transfers? (Especially POP B -> POP A direction) - I've tried adjusting the window size in IPERF but it actually made the results worse?
