VPN question

[proff]

Hi All

If my company has a VPN server running on a 4MB DSL business package, what speed should I be able to get when connecting from home? I seem to get max 25KB over my 4MB line. Is this right?

Port shapping?

I asked that question at work but the guys says there is no port shaping in place...

 

[xrapidx]

What about on your side though?

xrapidx thanks for the replies...how can I check this? I'm using the mega100wr

Is the server running on the ADSL line? Remember ADSL's upload is much slower than its download speeds so that might be slowing you down too.

There's no real way to check port shaping, it all comes down to what account you have, what ISP and account do you use at home?

It'd be something your ISP does... You'd have to find out from them if they're shaping the port you're doing.

4Mbit = 512KByte line. Can't remember if ADSL is MegaBYTE or MegaBIT.

bit, if only it was byte.

OK cool - I check with my ISP. Thanks guys.

If both you and server are on 4mb adsl, then you will be limited to max UPLOAD speed which is between 256-512kb thus giving you the transfer speed you are experiencing.

No need to check anything.. your transfer speeds are exactly what they should be.(limited bu the upload speed of your company ADSL)
