I have a standard NAT box; the essential configuration for discussion purposes on the box is just IP masquerading. On the NAT box, my Internet connection goes up to about 700 kilobytes per second, regardless of the protocol used (e.g., ssh or http). On clients behind the NAT box, however, HTTP connections seem to top out around 70 kilobytes per second. ssh connections (e.g., rsync) get the full throughput of the Internet connection. As far as NAT goes, I don't hvae any special settings. Can anyone think of an explanation for this behavior? It doesn't make any sense to me. -- Adam Rosi-Kessel http://adam.rosi-kessel.org
