There could be something in the network latency in the real world that is limiting your throughput beyond what you are setting. There could be limits at the ISP, or congestion that are causing some of the issues. Would like to know what you are using to test though and where you got it - looking for some good speedtest tools that don't rely on a third party. Thanks. m/ Thanks for replying Mitch, My DSL ISP is SBC. They are quite lenient with their network. I have asked several techs (both transport and ISP side) about filtering being done, and there is nothing to hinder this specific traffic. I usually test my connection at http://web100.rit.edu:7123/ . I always get consistant >320kbps upload results from there. I've also never noticed any problem uploading anything using my prior firewall, IPCop. Then again, the main reason I started using m0n0wall was for the traffic shaping ability. I never even considered this to be a problem until I noticed my serving speed increase after disabling traffic shaping. I've measured my transfer of files using my FTP client, CoolMon and the new traffic graph built into m0n0. While transfering, I can disable and reenable shaping and watch my speed drop and return reliabily. I've tried this over 3 different networks. Aside from testing transfers over my personal networks, all tests are real world. Unfortunatly, the consistancy of my results (so far) point to something weird on m0n0. I'm assuming PPPoE is at fault due to regular Ethernet transfers not being affected and any time non-java based transfers are passing through the PPPoE client, I see this drop. As mentioned before, setting my shaping rules on the WAN or LAN interface yield the same result. With shaping turned off, feel free to download a file from my server. It is 5.5megs, and you should see around a 38KB transfer rate. http://www.djesigns.com/upload/episode_theme.zip Danne |
