I know that if I had it as iplen 52 then it is just empty ACK packets only (no payload). I'm still confused on what uses between 53-80 though since 0-52 would be the empty ACK packets only. > > It appears that somehow the ACKs were not sent with priority on the > > upload pipe while downloading which is slowing the download side to > > less than 33% speed of the pipe. > > I think you missundestood appointment of this flag.

So that > booster is not correctly adjusted. See my comment above. For some reason, it is working correctly now when I do a simultaneous upload/download... it is now running correctly. For the last week which might just be a coincidence when I did the upgrade to the latest -CURRENT after 7 months, maybe it was SBC's ATM network or something that was slowing down the downstream side. Since these are the results I get: 10485760 bytes sent in 03:08 (54.39 KB/s) 10485760 bytes received in 00:25 (404.29 KB/s) Before, as I posted. I was getting no more than 200.00 KB/s when I was download/uploading at the same time but when I download and don't upload, it was giving the full 650KB/sec speed. > > Here are the ipfw pipe and queue's: > > > > root@bigbang [5:11pm][/home/vince] >> ipfw pipe show > > 00001: 400.000 Kbit/s 0 ms 50 sl. 0 queues (1 buckets) droptail > > mask: 0x00 0x00000000/0x0000 -> 0x00000000/0x0000 > > q00001: weight 100 pipe 1 50 sl. 1 queues (1 buckets) droptail > > mask: 0x00 0x00000000/0x0000 -> 0x00000000/0x0000 > > BKT Prot ___Source IP/port____ ____Dest.

One question though is on the ipfw pipe show and ipfw queue show, isn't the Prot, Source IP/port and Dest IP/port supposed to change when I have new connections since it stays the same since bootup. > Best regards, > Nikolay Pavlov. > Cheers, Vince
