Which sites are slow? I recently read somethign about 2.4 having compatibility issues with certain routers.
For more info, see this link. http://eltoday.com/article.php3?ltsn=2001-04-17-001-14-PS The long and short of it is try: #echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn and see if it helps. 2.4 implements something called Explicit Congestion Notification, or ECN. It's a good idea, but some routers have not bee upgraded to support it yet. From one of our network engineers: PIX and LocalDirector have been the main culprits with ECN issues, as far as Cisco gear is concerned. ECN support for PIX was resolved via bug ID CSCds23698; for LocalDirector, CDCds40921. -B On Tue, May 01, 2001 at 08:13:41AM -0500, Kidd, Peter wrote: > can't be normal day with cable modem, 3 minutes later same machine, same > site, same file, but win98 is a 5 second download, compared to tens of > minutes or not at all in linux (now potato with A Bunk's updates, actually > downloaded in win98) > > On Mon, Apr 30, 2001 at 11:02:02AM -0500, Kidd, Peter wrote: > > on a dual boot PC, apt-get runs effectively 10-20X slower than win98 ftp's > > to the same sites, downloading occurs in short spurts followed by long > > pauses and frequent 'timed outs' - running with Surfboard 4100 to @home - > is > > it because I have a 2.4.1 kernel running an otherwise slink installation > > (which I'm trying to dist-upgrade)? > > Looks to me normal day with cable modem.
