[VPN] Re: Avaya VSU's

[Chad Heskett]

I thought of the same thing Brian. So I tested this at the remote sites. I
unhooked the VSU and run directly off of the Cable Modem and I was getting
great bandwidth. 5Mbps down easily. I hook up to the VSU and it sinks to
1.5Mbps or slower. We have a full Gig fiber coming into our main building
where our central VSU is. (Avaya VSU 2000)

Thanks,

How much bandwidth is at the primary location which is the main
concentrator for these remote sites?  How many hops are there between
the main office and some of the remote offices?

If you can transfer files locally over the lan at normal speeds for
10/100/1000BaseT, then its most likely not the NIC or switches at fault.

Throw into the mix that cable modem service gets slower as more
customers are placed on the same feed as you, so if your in an area with
alot of cable modem customers, that could seriously affect bandwidth.

There is alot that could be happening - more information is good.
