I have compared downloading a file (via ftpfs) on the LAN, and downloading it from the WAN.
On the LAN, I get the 10MB file in less than a 1s (this is normal since the node I download from has only a 100Mb ethernet). On the WAN, it takes 6 minutes (with hget). My conclusion is that the card device (driver) is not at fault but that something is wrong along the path when I get through the gateway. Has somebody an idea about what I may do wrong or what could cause such a cost on the gateway. I have set IPv6 on the gateway: no difference. I have tried to disable IPv6 on the ether: no difference. ip/traceroute to the outside server shows results that are on par with what I get from NetBSD on this very node where I run also plan9. "Something" is obviously wrong. But "what" is less obvious (at least to me). -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ polynum +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ http://www.arts-po.fr/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
