Hello folks, Some time ago I've configured two Debian servers as VPN endpoints, they use the tunnelv package to route VPN traffic between two LANs.
Now we've connected to this networks some voice over IP phones which we would like to use through the VPN, the connection works and is securely encrypted but network performance is quite low. The network performance is not a problem of the underlying network bandwidth cause when I send some packets directly from one LAN endpoint to another, without traveling across the VPN, the connection is quite fast. The two endpoints are build up from Intel PII 266MHz CPUs and have almost 128 MBs of RAM so I actually don't think the VPN performance could be directly related with the hardware performance, encryption and decryption of the VPN data plus routing should not be a problem with this kind of hardware, am I right? I'm actually considering to switch the VPN from tunnelv to freeswan if this could increase the network performance. Any suggestions or pointers for this kind of problem? Thanks in advance for feedback, have a nice day, I. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ivo Marino [EMAIL PROTECTED] UN*X Developer, running Debian GNU/Linux irc.FreeNode.net #debian http://eimbox.org/~eim http://eimbox.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
