This is a well known issues called Long Fat Pipe Network. There's many university papers about it and many tricks to get around it on software-based boxes. Adjusting your TCP window size was the best start, if it's set properlu. The basic formula is provided in this forum post :

Indeed, we had similar issues on a 3G radio network. Long RTTs made it impossible to reach the maximum potential throughput of the network. I installed one of these: http://www.fastsoft.com/home/ And the problem just went away. -- Leigh Porter -Original Message- From: Jérôme

Since UDP works I have my doubts it is a driver/interface link issue. This sounds more like a latency/packet loss issue (esp since it is a transatlantic link). What type of latency, packet loss, and or packet error rates are you seeing? -Original Message- From: Eugen Leitl

Obviously not helping if you are trying to tune standard TCP, but I lament that protocols like Tsunami are not in wider use. http://tsunami-udp.sourceforge.net/ Short of it, a TCP control channel takes care of error checking and resends while the data channel is a UDP stream, specifically built to

I did this by creating a 6to4 tunnel to a relay provided by 6in4, not 6to4. While HE do operate 6to4 relays, the brokered tunnel service is 6in4. A very important distinction I didn't have clear in my head. To regurgitate some reading I just completed: both methods use v6 in v4

Derik, 1. Yes, you still use tunnelbroker.net if you wish you your own IPv6 PI space tunneled. HE does require you to have an ASN as well. With this you can multihome up to 5 of their PoPs. Find more info at their site: http://tunnelbroker.net/ However, they will give you up to 5 tunnels, each
