You should certainly look at your MTU and MSS values to ensure there
are no difficulties of that sort. Is there any other factor such as
perhaps slow DNS server (or other lookup-type services) responses
which can be contributing to the perceived slowness? How about
tuning the I/O buffers on the relevant routers? Can you tune the I/O
buffers on the servers?
And what about your link utilization? Is the DS3 sufficient? Take a
look at pps and bps, and take a look at your average packet sizes
(NetFlow can help with this). Are your apps sending lots of smaller
packets, or are you getting nice, large packet-sizes?
Finally, if none of the above help, you could look at something like
SCTP, if your servers and apps support it. But I'd go through the
above exercise, first.
