Re: [WISPA] Can't get my 100MB
. With Wireless networks, we all know that that is not what happens. If there is packet loss, it is likely that that percentage of packetloss will be there regardless of the transmission rate. Also, 802.11A adaptive modulation changes can inject some delays that can sometime effect transmit speed with TCP. This is another reasons sometimes Wifi links perform best with the 802.11A radio configured to minimize modulation changes, or hard set to the best modulation, the highest that does not ever auto adapt out of. In most case, when an upstream sells you a 100mbps link, it is usually a 100mbps link. There is a bigger chance your testing environment is flawed, or somewhere in the testing path, or in MULTIPLE aread across the testing path, there are very small quality (packet loss and delay) issues that in aggregate slow down TCPIP. In many cases it does not have to be fixed, depending on what services you typically sell. For example, if you onl;y sell up to 10mbps speeds, it doesn't really matter if you can test up to 100mbps in one stream, all that matters is taht your custoemrs can test up to 10mbps, and that you can have 10 customers testing at once successfully, which will be able to occur if the cpacaity is there, regardless of the quality. Lastly, if you are having trouble finding quality issues, you may need to packet sniff at layer2 and see what you see. If you see retransmissions alot, or to many acks, it can be a sign of problems on that link. When testing at speeds above 100mbps, dont trust 1 tool. Use multiple tools until you are certain that you ahve accurate data. LAstly again, You must test bypassing your network. Sorta like a laptop direct to teh circuit. But dont assume that that test will replicate how the circuit will perform when connecting to your router. The reason is Duplex mismatches, window size autoadjusts, flow control settings and stuff like that, might have to be set differently on the upstream provider side dependant on which type of device that you plug into the circuit. So be aware of all that, when testing. Good luck with it.

Re: [WISPA] Can't get my 100MB
I've found the best way to achieve a links true full potential is to use Bittorrent. Share some *nix ISOs with the world.

Charter's varies from 25 to 50MB down, speedtest.net goes to about 20-25MB down and 30 up, speakeasy doesn't go above 20MB. Charter says the cap is off on our 100MB so it should be showing that. The anatomy of our network is fiber to our head-end, goes to a Charter switch then to our Cisco 2811, then to a gig netgear switch. We're doing our speed tests on a standard browser (Firefox) in a Windows 2003 box that has a 10/100 ethernet (about 8 feet) to the gig switch.

Re: [WISPA] Can't get my 100MB
As an aside, the packet pushers podcast is really quite good. I especially enjoy Ivan P. And I concur that nowadays turning off autoneg results in more half-dup connections than it does solve problem. Fwiw, I still lock redline-cisco links.

I can break my fiber connection by turning on auto neg every time. Thats on a Dell managed switch.
