We had poorer performance than we would have liked, as well as a couple of
other nasty problems, one of which magically went away when certain parties
routed us thru a newer Cisco PIX 'firewall'. HPRC also helped us
troubleshoot. One of the things they had us do was increase our inbound
buffer pool. Now, our gets take ten minutes, and our sends of the same file
take forty minutes. Hmmm. Think we need to tune the outbound buffer
settings? If you have the luxury of trying to change your TCP settings, you
might get better results, or your mileage may vary.
