RED to RED UTM Throughput? Only achieving 5meg.

John,

is the compression enabled? How did you test the throughput?

Give us more information.

Thanks

Im going by the Interface speeds on the main page.

Compression is enabled but i only seem to get 5meg both ways with a RED site to site VPN

Thanks

JK

John,

can you disable the compression and try again?

Also what tool are you using to measure the bandwidth?

Thanks

tried with compression on and off.

The UTM dash says 5meg & task man never shows over 6meg with compression.

Sorry i put this in wrong forum should be in UTM thread.

I will move the thread to UTM Forum.

Thanks,

So any idea why im not getting more than 5meg on the WAN side of the RED vpn?

Im only using the dashboard for speed monitoring but found its pretty accurate, task manager on the machine collaborates it.

I get 5meg without compression and 5meg on the UTM & 6 meg on the machine with compression.

I know it should be faster as Remote Access SSL VPN can utilise the full bandwidth of the WAN.

What internet connection type is your client side?

What are the interface settings for the RED interface?

Fibre, 27meg down 7 up.

Red interface has same MTU as WAN.

if you include the overhead, 5Mbit RED on a 7Mbit Upload is fine. It will also depend on the Routing between the WAN Endpoints on how much traffic you will be able to push through RED.

Compression only works within packets so you won't see that much extra bandwidth.

Just like Ben said, problem could be your 7Mbps upstream. This connection would never be able to send more than this regardless of the speed of the other side of the connection.

I have a UTM-UTM RED connection here which is capped at 100Mbps which gets to about 75-80Mbps. So it's not likely to be a UTM problem.

Sorry just realised the VPN traffic is using the download not upload.  and the sending connection has 19meg upload, going to 24meg download.

a few things to better give a helpful advice;

1) please provider an anoymized traceroute between the two WAN connections

2) setup IPerf between the two endpoints (WAN to WAN with DNAT) and see how much throughput you can get 

3) give Details about both WAN Endpoints (same provider? LTE? DSL?)
