Some people wanted to know what I found the problem to be. I have discovered. the problem for a fact is the TCP window size on uploads. I have a Linux box that I changed the Window sizes to match and I still get 32k on a upload window and 64k on a download window. With a ping time of 50ms I have a max theoretical throughput of 5.2Mbps Which is about what I was getting. The formula to calculate this is the following. (((Ts/Tw)*Rtd)/1000)+((Ts*8)/(Lr*1000))) Where the following are Ts = Transfer size in Bytes Tw = Tcp Window size in Bytes Rtd = Round trip Delay in milliseconds Lr = Line rate in bps At this point I am still trying to locate the offending device that is changing the window size. After I determine for sure whether the problem is with my router, the sprint network, or another upstream system I will let everybody know what I find. -- Brian Raaen Network Engineer braaen () zcorum com On Monday 07 April 2008, Brian Raaen wrote: > I am currently having problems get upload bandwidth on a Sprint circuit.
