These are the IPC (inter process communication) kernel parameters and
have nothing about network tuning and AFAIK Bacula doesn't use IPC. I'm
not suprised that there was no effect. :)
hi radoslaw, hi reaper,
yes -- i have just sniffed to some traffic and done a backup over
100mbit network -- here are the results
zurich running bacula-dir and bacula-sd (backup server)
copenhagen running bacula-fd (backup client)
heres the 3 way handshake (bolding is mine)

zurich and copenhagen are 22.589 ms apart on a shared 100mbit connection
-- using the bandwidth delay product:

500 000 000 * .022589 = 11 294 50 / 8 = 1

copenhagen -> zurich / .022589 66 728 408

i backed up about 16GB of data uncompressed from copenhagen to zurich at
around 60mbits/s.
i am lost as far as bacula's window calculation -- it thinks that i have
a 500mbit connection?
cheers
