Hi,

# cat /dev/urandom | ssh root@host 'cat > /dev/null'

I use the above ssh command over a high-BDP WAN link (80 ms @ 100 Mbps). tcpdump shows I am TCP window limited to 64 KBytes (yielding 5 Mbps). iperf with default options gets the window opened to 500 KBytes (yielding 35 Mbps).

Both sides of the connection: FreeBSD 10.1 w/default sshd options (except I permit root login). In particular, HPN is not disabled.

Can anyone explain my abysmally small TCP window?

Can anyone recommend some tools/tricks to figure out what in FreeBSD and/or base SSH is limiting the send/recv buffer and/or TCP window?

Thank you,

Chris
