Even plugged directly into edge router (cisco 6500) connected to level3
and tested on another server on level3 5 hops away.
When the port is set at 100 i can get full 100m speed, when i set it at
1g I get less, which makes absolutely no sense and I'm totally stumped.

Paul,
I am not really aware of the fine details on the CentOS thingie, but can
you describe how the upstream network connection of that server looks
like? What lies beyond the NIC in the next few network hops.
Thanks
Arie

Subject: [c-nsp] Centos upload speed slower on 1000m than 100m over WAN
links
I'm not even sure this is the right forum but since we use mainly Cisco
equipment I'll give this a shot. :)
I have tried several centos based servers and compiled various kernels
and the results have been extremely weird.
90% of the cases the remote hosts can download from a server at
1-5megabytes per second, and most of these are over
the internet ranging from 30-200ms away. Local (1ms or less) is super
fast 100MB/s for example.
Ok that sounds normal since it's going over the internet, etc. But
here's the )(!...@*! part..
If I set the port speed to 100 megabits full duplex on the switch and
server , the clients that get 1-5MB/s now get 11MB/s which is
approximately the limit of the 100mbit port.
Totally stumped here, tried different nics, servers, even 4 different
switches. Is a very interesting problem and I'm probing to see
if anyone else has encountered it.
So far the only OS i have tried is centos, but different versions and
kernels and hardware.
All the switches/routers are Cisco based, but I seriously doubt that has
anything to do with this. :P
