How many hops away are you from the destination system? Are you sure there is no shaping, throttling, or other contention (besides the firewall) between your system and the destination? Use iperf (aptitude install iperf) to saturate the link. You can send both TCP and UDP packets/streams. -- Matt Zagrabelny - mzagrabe@xxxxxxxxx - (218) 726 8844 University of Minnesota Duluth Information Technology Systems & Services PGP key 4096R/42A00942 2009-12-16 Fingerprint: 5814 2CCE 2383 2991 83FF C899 07E2 BFA8 42A0 0942 He is not a fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. -Jim Elliot
