OK, so I sat down and collected some more concrete data. Due to
my lack of a "shopping list" this is what I can come up with.
Feel free to tell me when something's missing. Sorry for the
verbiage, but I already tried to trim it down to the necessary
volume.
What I get from all of this is: Established connections work
flawlessly, I can shove hundreds of MB through them. The feature
making ftp this prone to these stallings and errors seems to be
that new connections are opened all the time. This fits together
with what I experience: DNS lookups, initiating ssh sessions or
'cd /usr/src; make update' are painfully slow and always trigger
these artificial pauses. But why do pings work so fine? At the
moment the machine is somewhat degraded to a remote terminal and
local reference (manpages, handbook) and serves me to get
familiar with FreeBSD. Networking is not one of its strengths
and development capabilities are a little limited due to space
and computing power constraints. :( Maybe when I get a networked
file system to work it could reveal its real potential. :)
I'm glad and willing to help with whatever is necessary to catch
and kill the cause of this problem. Although cvsupping and
building a world is a matter of some ten hours on this machine,
please tell me what I can do to research this problem -- I can
trigger the situation quite easily here. And it's just that I'm
new to BSD, but I have some general UNIX knowledge. So I could
do quite a few things here when being guided or directed. :>
