[AusNOG] Looking for someone who has experience with Nextgen VPLS

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately not a tcp window issue.

Two servers in Perth, both identical configurations of Win2k8 with dual
gigabit links in a team - one server I can get 100Mbps to, the other only
10Mbps (from a 3rd, identical server in Sydney).

Greg

Sounds like you might have TCP window problems due to the large bandwidth
delay products. If that is the case, the following should help -
