> Hello, > I currently have two firewalls running. Both on Mandrake 8.1 running iptables. I currently have two internet connections (one is a DSL line at 1Mb, the other is straight from an ISP at 2.5 Mb). I can get 700Kb speeds through the firewall on the DSL line (which is about as fast as it ever is) but I only get about 500Kb speeds through the firewall on the ISP line. Shouldn't I be able to get at least 2Mb speeds through this firewall? > > How do you measure the throughput?
I used http://promos.mcafee.com/speedometer and http://www.dslreports.com. I can get 3Mb testing on the firewall itself but not on a machine behind the firewall. > Ramin > PS. Line breaks are good things. I'll use more linebreaks. Thanks!
