Chris, your limiter is probably your TCP receive window size depending on the OS you’re running. You should tweak your TCP stack to allow for larger TCP windows (more segments). As latency increases (data is further away) the through put decreases if the window size stays constant. Tuning the window sizes higher may give you 3 to 10 times the throughput on more distant sites. BY distant I mean higher RTT (round trip time) between you and the service. The Mac Sierra stock install allows for the window to scale to 3 times the normal 64K value. You want this to be more like 8 times the value, can be set under sysctl. The reason Apple fills up your pipes is they connect you to the closest resource CDN style and likely that is provided over direct peering to one of their near by data centers. You probably only have a few milliseconds of RTT between you and the serving web farm. If you connect to say something served out of California only and you’re on the east coast that RTT may be 80 milliseconds which means an unadjusted window will max out at about 6 megabits per second even though you have about 125 megabytes of throughput available. Does that make sense? Let me know if you need more detail. > On Jun 11, 2017, at 10:23 PM, 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries > <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > I have Gb internet at work and the only thing I've found that will fill the > pipe is Apple updates.
