Package: openssh-client Version: 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Upong recording the date rate when a file is transferring, it has been obeserved that the limit given of say 200 Kbps is not respected at the begging of the transfer. that the bit rate specified in the command is not respected. The rate overshoots up to 10 times more than the rate specified. As an exam- ple we have specified the rate of 200 Kpbs but saw peaks of 2.3 Mpbs. This has been reproduced with various file sizes. The transfer seems to also halt for few seconds when a peak happens and then resumes. Approximately 20s after the transferring the rate is smooth. An older version of the openssh-client was intalled and the behavior above was not observed, therefore this leads to the conclusion that there is a bug on the 1.6 version. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-586 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dpkg 1.17.27 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u7 ii libedit2 3.1-20140620-2 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.12.1+dfsg-19+deb8u2 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1t-1+deb8u6 ii passwd 1:4.2-3+deb8u3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages openssh-client recommends: ii xauth 1:1.0.9-1 Versions of packages openssh-client suggests: pn keychain <none> pn libpam-ssh <none> pn monkeysphere <none> pn ssh-askpass <none> -- no debconf information
