Hello Julian,

are you using?

I am using OpenSSH_6.6.1p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1p-freebsd 9 Jul 2015 on 
10.2-RELEASE-p7 . I read the news about dropping the HPN patch.
Recently we had experienced low scp performance between a new (modern) linux host we cloned to some cloud provider and a local quite old linux machine. I noticed that I had the same low performance between the new remote linux and my FreeBSD box, so I tried to address this. However no matter the HPN tuning, on this particular connection (about 100ms latency), the bhyve Ubuntu is *always* faster than its host (my FreeBSD box), so I guess the benefit from HPN would be marginal anyway.

We have a weird situation here. We just made a clone of a virtual image running 
Linux and sent it over to some could provider. The problem is that the scp 
performance to *many* hosts in our office
center has worsened considerably, including one freebsd box.

In this freebsd box I run also a jail, and a linux ubuntu image with bhyve. The 
crazy thing here is that :

1) scp from the original (local office center) linux image to the host FreeBSD, 
its jailed FreeBSD and its bhyve linux is 2.7 MB/s
2) scp from the cloud linux image to the host FreeBSD is slow (~300KB/s)
3) scp from the cloud linux image to the above FreeBSD's jail is slow(~300KB/s)
4) scp from the cloud linux image to the above FreeBSD's bhyve ubuntu is 
fast(~1->1.5MB/s)

What can cause this behavior?

PS
Please answer to me directly as I am not subscribed to -net.
Thanks a lot for any ideas.
I worked on this last year a bit, but was never able to track it down.

It may be an issue w/ internal SSH's buffering not growing properly to
handle the latency.

I posted some info on the wiki about this:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SSHPerf

Thanks tons!
In this case of mine, just playing around with HPN:

HPNDisabled no
HPNBufferSize 8192

in sshd_config was enough to bring it on par with linux.
