Astaro slowing down download?

Hello

I have had astaro installed for a month now, and a week ago we experienced a sudden drop in download speed. From 1,4MB/sec to around 200KB/sec.

Connected directly to my modem with my computer and got full speed, then connected through astaro and restarted the modem I got full speed for about 5 minutes and then the speed returned to 200KB/sec.

I would appreciate help troubleshooting as I enjoy astaro very much but such a drop in speed is quite annoying!

Hi, has your ISP changed their MTU?

Can I test if they did?

Try lowering the MTU on the EXT interface in Astaro... if your connection is DSL with PPPoE, try 1492 bytes, and then re-test the speeds.

Also, I should have mentioned that if you have the http proxy / content filter on, you are unlikely to get valid speed test results.

Have now tried different MTUs, but see no improvement or change in speed.

I am aware of this, and therefore use a iso-file from opensuse.uib.no to test speeds.

Have you changed anything else? Try temporarily disabling the IPS... if it makes a big difference then it may be misconfigured.

You may also want to look at the IM/P2P blocking feature, if enabled.

So you're using FTP to test?

I did try to reset the backup from some days before the slowdown happened, but this did not help.
IPS off does not give any other speed, and no, there is not ftp I am using downloading a random file from Index of /distribution

Will try a hardware test tomorrow.

I'm still not clear on this: have you disabled the http proxy during your testing?

Oh, sorry!

Yes, I have disabled it under my testing, the speed results remain the same.
