How important is the upstream to a VPN? We are getting terribly sluggish results from our VPN at the moment and looking to upgrade to a 16/2 line, the host only needs to handle about 3-5 client computers, would this be adequate? How important is upstream?
View 1 RepliesYesterday, I changed my old belkin n1 router with Linksys WRT54GL router. Ever since them my upstream speed is really slow. I did the speedtest its like .5mbit. My downstream speed is just fine. This issue is only on wired computers, upstream speed on wireless computers is just fine.I retested router & modem several times, my upstream speed is normal when I connect cable directly from modem to my computer.Current Firmware Version is 4.30.14 build 5.

LAN connections should still be able to transfer at full speed, but anything outside of the local network should be limited to 200Kbps per connection. Is that even possible? Can I limit the number of connections per client (probably by IP)?
If this can't be done at the OS level, is there any way I could script it using PHP? Maybe read X bytes into a file and then sleep...

Since I've bought my RV042 CISCO (v3 hardware, firmware v4.1.1.01-sp Dec 6 2011 20:03:18) i wasn't able to let it work properly with my two DSL network lines. I explain. I got 2 DSL network:
1- PPPoE with authentication (MTU setted as auto) with upstream speed 4Mbit/S and downstream speed 5Mbit/s
2- Direct line with static IP with upstream speed 7Mbit/S and downstream speed 1Mbit/s
I was never able to SUM the two WAN using the LOAD BALANCE set. I tried all combinations:
DSL 1 in WAN 1 or in WAN 2
DSL 2 in WAN 2 or in WAN 1
I've tested all type of speeds in WAN SPEED in Web Management
it seems that for some kind of reason it takes the upstream speed i can set in web management as the default value on which it decides to use the other WAN. When i set low upstream bandwidth for DSL 2 it's able to sum the down streams of both WANs but not the up streams.
I wasn't ever able to sum the up streams? How does it work?
using task manager in XP it is clear that while browsing data is being uploaded mirroring the data downloaded..ie in a given period if 18mB comes downstream (just surfing) then 11mB goes upstream. The graph in task manager shows that the peaks and troughs of the data upstream and downstream exactly correspond and watching the bytes tick over confirms that data goes out for every data coming in.I assume that this should not happen? I realise ip protocols have some kind of error detection that may require uploading data, but the amount sent seems excessive! From my limited understanding of networking and running wireshark it looks like that when packets come from an ip on the web ( i use the terms web/internet interchangeably ) then packets are sent out to the same ip ... using TCP and HTTP ( I don't really understand them ). The info for one such packet going out is "Continuation or non-HTTP traffic" using the HTTP protocol, which sounds a bit contradictory. I regularly run virus scans and rarely find anything. The cpu regularly maxes out and its usually something to do with firefox ( I've heard of buffer overflows but i assume the problem is a relatively old processor and hardware).The browser is firefox. OS is XP.Coincidentally, the pc was recently rebooting after crashing until I disabled "restart on system failure" which prevented the crashes ( if they were crashes and not just the system reacting to an error ). Again, that is a bit suspicious but maybe not. Spybot, bit defender quickscan,avira, zone alarm, malwarebytes etc haven't flagged anything up.Maybe the router is not configured properly. As with all these things, there will be some simpler things to start with to diagnose this issue (if there is one ) but I don't know what they are.The pc uses wifi to connect. The isp is not the best and the speed is pretty bad for adsl. Every couple of days the router needs rebooting because it stops giving out ip's.

I have internet speed : 8Mbps.
The status of Internet in the modem config as foloows:

Line Attenuation (dB) 8.1 1.1

from the above informations the upstream is 636 Kbps but when I did the speed test it show me that the upload not more than 300 Kbps.
I used another modem D-link modem and the upload is more than 550 kbps when I used speed test.
Actually the upload is very slow by using TP-link modem and when I used another modem the upload is double speed.
Is it possible, through a QoS profile, to control how much bandwidth a user gets to use for upstream traffic? I can easily set limits for downstream traffic, via the per user bandwidth contracts, but it is not obvious to me on how to control upstream traffic.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am imagining a smallish networking (AS1234) with say three full BGP table peers that provide transit to the network (just to keep the maths simple here); Lets say AS100 and AS200 are preferred transit providers with AS300 as a backup/least prefered (AS prepends or similar stop us from using this network by default). So in this scenario our little network gets two different paths across the Internet, as not to rely solely on one provided, with a backup provider to hand also.
How do you mange issues like packet loss somewhere in AS100's or AS200's network? So lets say a host on our AS1234 network is talking to host in AS888 and the preferred route is through AS100 but somewhere deep in AS100 a link is flapping (for example) and I can't get to AS888 reliably through there anymore, but I can through to other peers of AS100 OK. We can postulate that AS100 is the best path for 50% of the Internet and AS200 for the other 50% (this is a best case fictional scenario). I can't ping 50% of the internet via AS100 and then in the event a ping fails (or some other more reliable test) tear down the BGP session to use AS100 until it's fixed again, nor vice versa with AS200.
First of all, I asume you don't know about the issue between AS100 and AS888 until someome moans about it to you? Secondly, do you then some how modify the route(s) to AS888 that come from AS100 (route map for example to change the weight or preference) so AS200 is now preferred for AS888? Do you infact shut down the AS100 peering and now use AS200 & AS300? How do you rectify these situations that are beyond you control using what is in your control?
2 routers in series, is one more secure. I recently asked about setting up two routers in series as routers, one wireless one not. It was my understanding that the computers on the second router would not be visible to computers on the first router, the wireless one. My assumption was that this would make it more difficult for someone who got access to the wireless router to also access those computers on the second router.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI discovered on a pair of SG300-28P.
On a second switch (ver 1.2.7.76) when I unplugged the power cord, to my amazement the switch turned right back on (about 1 second later), with the power cord removed. To verify that the power is indeed coming from POE, the upstream switch (ver 1.1.2.0) that is the same model (sg-300-28p), shows all 7 Ethernet ports connecting the two drawing from 2700mW, to 3000mW.
While the second switch is powered from the first over POE, the POE does not work on the second switch to power anything, and the system summary mentions something about "PoE Power Information on Master Unit".
Is this a stacking operation, and is POE on the second switch NOT supposed to work when powered over Ethernet from an upstream switch?
We are connected to 2 different providers (PROV01 and PROV02) with eBGP full internet tables. PROV01 routes have higher local preference over PROV02.
We are having problems with our provider and would like your expertise. PROV01, higher preference has been having trouble with their router. The BGP remains up but the router stops forwarding traffic. as a resulta we lose connection to the internet but our traffic never goes to PROV02 since PROV01 BGP remains up announcing the 400K routes to us.
Is there a way to test internet connection though PROV01 and as the "internet is DOWN" automatically change traffic to PROV02? Can BGP parameters changes be triggered by IP SLA? Our router is an ASR1006 RP2.
We have got a pair of N5K and 4 N2k. So far, we have configured VPC Keepalive (2x10G) & VPN Peer (1x1G) between N5K. Also we have configured one N2K with Dual Hommed VPC with both N5K.Now I am having some difficulties with desining/configuring EIGRP with Upstream routers/L3 65xxVSS switch.
Here are the queries.
1) Do I have to create another 1GE link between these 2 N5K to enable routing in between.
2) For these 2xN5K should I enable Eigrp on physical Interface or should I create VLAN & VRF to enable routing in between.
3) For N5K to Upstream L3 device should I have to configure EIGRP on physical Interface or should I create VLAN & VRF to proceed. We have 2 uplink each to connect to 2 DC and we are not planning to aggregate 2 links (VPC or L3 Ether Channel) for each site.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwe finally got my Cisco refurbished E2500 configured and working downstream from a UVerse 3801HGV box. We had to change the default IP address of the 3801 because it conflicted with the E2500's default. The E2500 is set up to get its Internet IP address using DHCP from the 3801. This is working fine for normal web browsing, etc. However, anything that requires extended connections (downloads, streaming, etc) freezes after a couple of minutes, forcing me to refresh the action to get it started again. Extremely annoying to say the least.
I'm pretty sure that I've tracked it down to the E2500's configuration of the 3801's DHCP allocation. For some reason, the E2500 wants to set the DHCP Lease Time for the 3801's assigned IP address to 10 minutes regardless of the upstream settings from the 3801. The 3801's default is 24 Hours which I've changed to 168Hours (7 days), but the E2500 stays stuck at 10 Minutes. Specifically, I'm referring to the setting displayed on the E2500 under Status>Router>Internet Connection IPV4>DHCP Lease Time.
Having a design where an IBM bladecenter has two Nexus 4001i switches and each switch is connected to a Nexus 5k vPC pair, is it possible to configure active-active nic teaming on the hosts (blades) considering that the Nexus 4k switches are unaware of each other and blade has one connection to each 4k over either emulex or qlogic 10G CNA?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with a Cisco 3750 switch stack which is connected to two seperate upstream Cisco 3750's which are administered by an ISP. The ISP is experiencing MAC address flapping from one of my VLAN SVI's i am using to route traffic upstream
[code]...
As you can see I utilise a VLAN SVI to route traffic to the upstream 1.1.1.2 (illustration only) IP. As per the diagram of the topology attached, the ISP is receiving a MAC address flapping error confirming the SVI MAC address from my switch stack is being learnt on the trunk port connecting switch 1 and switch 2, and also the port (Gi1/0/48) directly connected to my switch stack. As these are all Layer 2 links essentially being passed upstream and then connected between the two ISP switches, we have a 3 way triangular loop formed.
If I was to remove the port channel configuration from the two ports associated with the VLAN SVI, am i right in suggesting this would still form a layer 2 loop? The two ports would still be a member of the SVI VLAN, and it is the VLAN MAC address which is being learnt by the two ISP switches on different interfaces.

I just discovered that my wireless download speeds are 5Mbps, compared to 16Mbps if my laptop is connected directly to the modem or wired through the router. Uploads are 2Mbps either way. I have a WRT54GS v.6 with firmware version v1.52.8 which I updated today, completed by setting factory default through the router webpage after I discovered this discrepancy. The firmware update did not improve the download speed appreciably, if at all.Should the wireless connection be that much slower than the wired connection through the router? If not, what sort of issues could I be having to account for this?
I did just replace my modem when I discovered I was having erratic speedtests and that corrected that problem. That is when I became aware of the wireless issue, so not sure how long that has been the case. I have Charter's 16/2 HSI, living in a sparsely populated area with solid internet service. There is no external nor internal interference on this 2.4Ghz band.
I have a Arris DLS with 12 Mbps Download and when I Connect my laptop directly I get the same speed as 12 Mbps but when I do the speed test with my linksys I get only 5 Mbps. How to upgrade to the new WRT54GL or WRT54GS?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI live in the tampa bay area, I have bright house (BHN) as my service provider, which provides a Road Runner Lightning (40/5) package. I previously used BHN's top tier (20/2) back in July (and prior) with no problems.
After converting to Lightning in August of this year (2010). Of course, BHN (and every other provider) wants to force a modem/router down your throat, so I had them bridge it (in short, turn it into a dummy modem with no routing). I had an SMC branded modem gateway at the time. I work from home 2 days a week (so I can spend more time with my kids during morning, lunch, right after work) and this requires me to use QoS to ensure my VOIP work calls don't get dropped, if the family is watching youtube videos or watching netflex.
My network was as follows SMC Modem >WAN IP>>WAN Port>>D-link DIR-655>>Switch Ports>PC1, PC2, PC3
Everything seemed fine (from a usability stand point) till about 2 weeks ago when my upload speed seemed to grind to halt. Normally I was able to upload about 200-300K per second, and I noticed this dropped to about 45K per second during a drop box upload. First thing I did was power cycle both my modem and router (in the proper/usual order). After they both come up, I start using speed test to find out what my upload speeds were. I was getting about 39Mbps down, but only .56Mbps up still. I factory reset my router.... test, similar speeds. Power cycle all computers (just in case), and then modem/router. Tested, similar speeds. Updated the firmware to the latest. Same issue
Called BHN customer service, they factor reset it, but it wasn't in bridge mode. If I by passed the 655, in factory mode (non bridge mode) upload speeds returned to better than expected states. If I bridged the cable modem, upload speeds seemed to crash.
Had BHN replace the modem, seemed fixed for a day, then issue came back. Had them come back out and replace it again, this time with a Motorolla Surfboard modem... same issue. Fine during factory reset, however after they bridge the modem, upload speeds were fine. Told BHN I would take it from there.. Connected up the DIR-655, and upload speeds crashed again. (.6Mbps). Called D-Link Support, and the Chinese English speaking rep seemed to not be listening to me and tried to have me adjust my MTU as well as Wireless settings. Long story short... the rep was a level 0 id10t and I hope D-link will consider hiring better employees/contractors. So I was all about to give up and replace it with a DD-WRT capable router (which it takes me a lot to want to swap hardware), when I discovered the wan shaping was on. Which I thought to myself... nah... QoS has never messed up before... why would it be the cause. Turned off wan shapping... and voila. Issue seemed to be insta-resolved.
Unsatisfied with that... I decided to dig a lil deeper. I turned on Wan shaping again, but decided to set the settings manually instead of auto detect.
Here are the settings I used... (Advanced Tab>QoS)
Enable Traffic Shaping - Checked
Automatic Uplink Speed - Unchecked
Manual Uplink Speed - 5000
Connection Type: Cable or Other Broadand Network
Enable QoS Engine - Checked Automatic Classification - unchecked (this checked seemed to affect my upload speed by about 5-10% during testing) Dynamic Fragmentation - unchecked (this checked seemed to be the worse enemy for upload speed)
While I know I'm not any network guru (still have to use a subnet calculator for subnetting), I think I did a pretty good job drilling down the issue (once I got passed my service provider replacing modems).
Anyways, I've had overall good luck with D-Link products, even have a 5 port 10/100 switch (all metal) from 1998 that works great. Hopefully, D-Link will just either put more documentation on the web, or hire better employees.
