Title:
openssh: want hpn-ssh for 20x speed improvement!
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in openssh package in Debian:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
This is a wishlist item: hpn-ssh would be a big data-transfer speed
improvement for many Ubuntu users, particularly scientific
organizations like universities and observatories that transfer large
amounts of data over long-haul networks, and large commercial users.
hpn-ssh is a patch on openssh that just makes the TCP window variable
in length, overcoming a static (and too-small) window size that is in
openssh. No modifications are made to the security aspects of the
code. Measured transfer rates are improved over some nets by a factor
of 20. It's in wide use already by banks, the US government, many
grid computing centers, and security companies. Even if it's not
patched into openssh, making an alternative version available would be
a service to the community. Other distros have this, but synaptic
shows me nothing for Ubuntu. Here are some sites:
