            Bug ID: 235333
           Summary: SSH data transmission speed unnecessarily slow due to
                    IPQoS default setting
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: tony@accesslab.com

On certain connections, for example through some wireless devices, FreeBSD
ssh/scp will copy data very slowly. Typically I see copy rates at 1/3 normal
speed. This is happening because the IPQoS option for both ssh/scp (ssh_con=
fig)
and sshd (sshd_config) default the IPQoS setting to 'af21'. Changing this
setting to instead default to 'lowdelay' will produce normal data transmiss=
ion
speeds out-of-the-box for new FreeBSD installs thus making many users happi=
er
not having to trouble shoot and track down this weird random problem when it
occurs. The low speed transmission issue only occurs on some connection pat=
hs,
mostly I have seen it happen when copying data through a wireless bridge or
access point. In hind sight, I see that on Linux, Openssh DOES default IPQo=
S =3D
lowdelay, and perhaps that is not by accident?
