Hi,

Our company's web service has noticable difference serving Windows
HTTP clients(IE) (98, 2000, XP). It is relatively slow comparing
Windows -> Windows case.

 - FreeBSD(4.7,4.8,4.9) thttpd/apache/builtin ftpd -> Windows 2000 : 300-800Kbytes/sec
 - Windows 2000 IIS(no optimization) -> Windows 2000 : 800k - 1.1Mbytes/sec

HTTP request is plain file transfer(around 10-20Mbytes).

XP client was very bad result, about 300-400Kbytes/sec for FreeBSD
server. Our servers are in data center, and client PC has 10M connection.

At first I suspected network environment of server and client, but two
servers(FreeBSD, windows) are on the same subnet and link
type(1000SX), hardware, server load, etc. so I didn't see any
difference between them.

With google, I found some info but it doesn't help... (e.g. set tcp
sendspace/recvspace to 64k, turn off delayed_ack, turn on rfc1323
knob, or samba SO_SNDBUF optimization).

Also, bandwidth test using iperf and ttcp shows almost same bandwidth(8~9Mbit/sec).

Can you give me any hints? Here is my sysctl.conf:
