Poplar Proxies don't reach 3 meg speed - Page 6

Firetrap · 06-04-2005, 11:26

Eusa is indeed correct, only the proxies at Winnersh and Poplar have been changed. A similar change will be rolled out to the rest of the proxies asap...

I don't know if it's relevant but I noticed an issue with the proxies yesterday - the server s6.invisionfree.com can (or could at the time, not re-tested) only be reached through Inktomi proxies, not the NetApps.

The verdict of SG's analyzer (if you allow the transparent proxy, it reads YOU, if you force-proxy, it reads the proxy) is not 100%

Quote:

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 70080
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 1 bits (scale factor of 2)
Unscaled Receive Window = 35040
RWIN is not fully optimized (even though it is a comparatively large number). The unscaled RWIN value is lower than it should be. Also, RWIN being close to and above 65535 does not justify the header overhead of enabling TCP Options. You might want to use one of the recommended RWIN values below.

RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)

thanks again, its good when feedback is acted upon.

Chrysalis · 15-04-2005, 00:17

are proxies fixed nationwide yet?

hmmm, I'm getting very low speeds from US sites again, as before switching to other proxies fixes it - this has been going on for several days now, are the Poplar proxies mucked up again I wonder

Hersham gives full 376k - Poplar gives anywhere between 50-200k - again defeating the point of having a 3 meg service unless you manually change the proxy.

I'm really getting quite sick of these rubbish proxy hoops we are forced through to get the service we pay for

downquark1 · 21-06-2005, 16:14

Manchester has been fine since we complained.

IanUK · 21-06-2005, 16:55

Its been fine here as well until the last few days, the Newsserver has started timing out as well now, ho hum.

Chrysalis · 22-06-2005, 01:08

is this one fixed?

I wonder whats up this time then ?

I'm still getting 100-200k from Gamespot,Fileplanet,3dGamers etc - switching to Hersham proxies brings the speed back up to 376k - been like it for a few days now.

Why do NTL persist with these bloody things

or more to the point - why does it always seem to be the Poplar ones that break...

Chrysalis · 25-06-2005, 04:17

they persist for cash, although they must be saving pennies because bandwidth is dirt cheap now days especially on their commit.
