Ping times are "normal" at anywhere between <1ms to 2ms. Using DD, I created a 1GB file to download via HTTP through the tunnel. It started at about 2.2mbit and slowly ramped up. The peak speed was around 3.4mbit.
I kept an eye on the CPU and memory usage during the transfer. OpenVPN definitely used more CPU time but still didn't max out the box: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND 10815 root 1 111 0 2424K 2136K RUN 0:58 47.01% openvpn Memory usage stayed about the same. Even during the transfer, my constant ping was within sub 6ms times. One of the nics is an intel pro/100 desktop adapter in a PCI slot, the other is an onboard VIA Rhine adapter. I know the Rhine adapters aren't exactly "good" :-/ so I may try another NIC instead. It would not explain why SIP traffic is funky while everything else is fine, but at least it's something to try. --- Tim Nelson RockBochs Inc. ----- "David Rees" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 12:25 PM, Vivek Khera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> Depending on bandwidth requirements, we may eventually use G.729 > but we're > >> currently testing in our lab on a completely unloaded 100mbit > network. > > > > G.729 also handles higher latency well.
