Fwd: vpnc-nortel ver 0.5.3-446M slow download

Hello Guys,

I have just compiled the latest version of vpnc-nortel on centos 5.3
X86_64 platform . After a bit of stuffing around I managed to connect to
our Nortel vpn switch . The connection seems pretty stable - needed to
use the DPD idle setting of 0 . However the problem I do have is that
connection troughput is very low . It is noticeable when connecting to
machines in the vpn network with ssh or sftp . My average download speed
when doing a sftp session is about 5KB/sec . As a comparison I have
installed a Windows virtual machine on same server in NAT mode and tried
the Windows Nortel connectivity client . The download rate from this
setup is about 1MB/sec . I would much rather avoid VM's as much as
possible , but need to get the vpnc-nortel client going faster to at
least the Windows rate . I am using default settings and have not
observed any obvious errors . Please help me improve the throughput .

Best Regards

Hello Milorad,

the main difference with Nortel client is that vpns uses ESP
encapsulation instead of UDP.
To me, ESP runs much faster, so I'm surprised about your result.

Do you have possibility to connect your vpnc PC on another internet
provider and test it again?
Maybe router/ADSL/Wlan/provider alltogether slow-down ESP...

Best Regards,
Antonio Borneo
