Re: openssh-based file transfers (e.g. rsync, scp, ...) are running 40 (!!) times faster via IPv4 than IPv6

Servus Philipp,


Unfortunately the traceroute(6) results are both more or less random. Sometimes traceroute "hangs" a while, wherever,
sometimes traceroute6. Sometimes traceroute is faster, sometimes traceroute6. Not reliable.

Your MTU question, tried as adviced:

Maximum size for IPv4 is 1466, and max size for IPv6 is 1444. Exceeding these values leads to a "ping: local error:
Message too long, mtu=1492" in both cases.

My Fritzbox says "Native IPv6", no tunnel, no underlying "IPv4 via DS-Lite". These are the default settings for ISP
"Deutsche Telekom", VDSL-50.


VINCENZO: Tried as adviced to test with FTP, installed pure-ftpd and opened VPS's ftp port in firewall. Maximum IPv4
speed was much slower (1.5-2 MB/sec) than other tests, maybe temporary issue or virtualization. But again: IPv6 was MUCH
slower than IPv4.
