Just a note on this thread, we got everything sorted out. There was a little asymmetric routing going on, but the great folks at HGC was very quick in helping us fix this. We had some problem with HGC support at the Hutch before, but they are great and fast now. At the other end in Johannesburg, we

also check the steelhead isn't getting swamped by too many connections. The Units are rated at and have a fixed max number of connections per device.If you need more connections you need a bigger/more costly device. -- Martin Hepworth, CISSP Oxford, UK On 11 July 2013 18:14, Luan Nguyen wrote:

Hey Luan, Here is a good guide that will help you optimise your throughput. As for knowing the average, it all depends on pipe size, network topology, end host configurations to even conjure a guess. http://bradhedlund.com/2008/12/19/how-to-calculate-tcp-throughput-for-long-distance-links/ -J

Thanks guys. We do have Riverbed Steelhead appliances at both end. According to calculation, maximum throughput can be attained is ~330KB/sec. With the Riverbed "cold" transfer, we should get ~600KB/sec. But I can only get ~250KB/sec with the Steelhead doing its stuff for 500M file so plenty of ti
