Re: New transit tests

Hi Eduardo,

don't expect you will be able to download a single connection at 40Mbps.

Your test will be limited by the latency. You can do some tweak in the
TCP but it will not improve too much considering the latency between
BR and US.

Here are two links which can give you some directions:
