Hello,
I am experiencing a bit of an issue with mdb network traffic.
When I request large queries (entire subtrees) from remote hosts my searches
take hundreds of times longer to complete than they do if I search on the local
machine (in all expect for one case).
I have attempted to tune the kernel network settings, adjusted tx buffer sizes
all to no avail.
Just before turning to this list i gave one last shot in the dark attempt
running my query using the rootDN. This produced the expected results.
When queried with a typical account DN my system was transmitting around
2.0Mbps to the remote client.
When queried with the rootDN my system was transmitting around 100Mbps to the
client.
The system has an olcLimits rule allowing unlimited time and size to the
account "typical account" I was testing with.
' olcLimits: dn.children="ou=accounts,dc=example,dc=com" time=unlimited
size=unlimited '
Clearly the server is capable of serving data to the remote machine at 100Mbps
(given that the rootDN has done so)
I cannot for the life of me find a configuration option or setting would should
be impacting the transmission bandwidth of searches.
Any help or advice of where I should be looking would be greatly appreciated.
I have included the relevant cn=config information below.
Thank you,
