Does anyone know of a tool that will help determine Internet-application performance throughput for overall data window size?
My company has a client that depends on a hosted application. While only one of their offices used this app, things worked very well for them. Now that they're rolling it globally, they're noticing significant slowdowns in certain areas. We already use Akamai and some fairly extreme caching settings to keep the dead-bits to a minimum, but the dynamic parts are showing some trouble. Essentially, they're telling us that they're seeing choke points in the 8k range for throughput. We've gone through all of our equipment and assured that we're using 64k windows sizes on the send and receive sides. Still they see this. It's one of those "it must be on your end" discussions and we're working hard to get all the data that they request, but it's hard to quantify this "in flight" number that they keep touting and showing pretty graphs of. The tool that the client's group is using is Opnet IT Guru/ACE which is a fine tool... but if I can get a req for $50k for software in under 6 months, Hell may have a need for those double hockey-sticks... Any advice is much appreciated. ~ Star _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
