PPP connection speed

2004-05-11 Thread Dan Korostelev
Hello.

I'm using pppconfig and pon/poff to connect to internet using dialup. Is
there an easy way to view current connection speed??? Thanks.

  It *might* be a matter of the modem initializing string. Maybe it is
already reported in the log file? Have you tried some graphical dialing

Not tried Kppd or any other GUI ppp app. More comfortable on CLI. However, 
/dev/ttyS1, UART 16550A is set to a baud_base of 115200, the fastest 
attainable speed between the modem and the serial port. On the other hand, I 
used minicom to configure my 3Com US Robotics external modem to connect at 
the highest attainable data rate (ATN0) whilst at the same time enabling 
auto data compression (ATK1). /var/log/syslog has in it several lines 
pertaining to the activity of pppd but cannot deduce the connection speed.
Thanks anyway.

I use the following /etc/chatscripts/provider file:

ABORT BUSY
ABORT NO CARRIER
ABORT VOICE
ABORT NO DIALTONE 
ABORT NO ANSWER
 ATZ
OK ATX4
OK ATW1
OK ATDT947650210
CONNECT \d\c

The commands to display connection speed are:

ATX4: wait for dialtone, send CONNECT  when connected, else send send NO 
DIALTONE or 
BUSY as appropiate
ATW1: inform about modem-to-pc speed as CONNECT  and connection speed as 
CARRIER 

Deppending on your modem you could need ATQ0 and ATV1 too.  

Here you have a connection log as given by syslogd in /var/log/ppp.log :

A very simple solution:

- put
REPORT  CONNECT
  in your chat script (pppconfig do this for you, at least in potato).
  Take a look at your modem docs; maybe you need REPORT CARRIER instead.

- use the chat -r option to set the chat log file (p.e:
  /var/log/chat.log). In this file you get something like this:

chat:  Aug 04 13:12:20 CONNECT 9600

The raw information is available under /proc/net, and possibly
elsewhere.  You might be able to pull something together from that.  You
could also check sites such as Freshmeat for a tool that logs ppp0 buad
rates or transfer speed.  I'm not aware of one, this doesn't mean it
doesn't exist.

It is generally much higher then the modem bit rate (not baud rate.

There is an AT command to tell your modem to report the bit rate and a chat

Excuse the interuption here (I missed the first message) but on every
potato install I've done (not sure about slink... been too long!) pppd
reports all interesting information to '/var/log/messages' and all ppp
data to '/var/log/ppp.log' Here is a quick listing of mine:

# grep Aug  3 /var/log/ppp.log | grep chat | grep /
Aug  3 08:48:53 mustang chat[9861]:  26400/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS^M


Looking more closely I see this is text my provider sends during
connection (along with other info) and not something from pppd or it's
friends. This may not be useful to you (probably not) but you may want
to try adding ECHO ON to your '/etc/chatscripts/provider' so that any
such messages get logged.

higher rate useful for on the fly modem compression/decompression
of compressible data.  

Yes, just play with the AT commands manually using just a serial connection
to get bit rate - modem protocol. Automate it later.

Rule of thumb (thumbs may vary) an ftp transfer of ~4000 chars per
second for a well compressed file (zip etc.) for a 28k  connection.

PPP connection speed(again)

1998-11-28 Thread Shao Zhang
Hi all,
I tried to use the RedHat /etc/ppp/options file in debian, and it
didn't help. The connection speed cannot go up to 800 bytes/sec.

The redhat's ppp version is 2.3.3-6. And I am using the newest
stable ppp debian pachage.

So any ideas?? I really want to fix this problem. Because it gives
me the feeling that Redhat performs better than debian, although I know it
is not true. I have been working on this for 2 months already.

Please help. 

Thanks!

You could:
1. Use wvdial package to finetune your modem.

2. Use irqtune to do the same. I tried it, it doesnt help me much, though
my usual speed of download is around 3Kbs on netscape/ftp with 33.6 modem.

As far as FAQ for irqtune says, it sounds like you have a problem that
requires that package.

Shao,
I don't think so...but one thing, unless you've altered the
/etc/ppp/options file, the default with RedHat has only the statement
lock in it.  That means the rest of the options will take their
defaults as far as pppd goes; whatever they may be, when you use
RH.  The difference may be there.

PPP connection speed

1998-11-25 Thread Shao Ying Zhang
Hi all,
I have three ISPs, let me name them A, B and C.
A is very new(technology), B  C are relatively old compare to A.

In debian, for ISP A, I can have a average download rate 3k/s. But for B 
C, the download rate is only about 800bytes/s.

But for the same matchine, in RedHat 5.1, I can have a download rate at
3k/s for all three ISPs.

Some kind debian users advised me to change the line in
/etc/rc.boot/0setserial from
STD_FLAGS=session_lockout
to  STD_FLAGS=session_lockout spd_vhi

I tried that and it didn't help.

Also, someone advised me to use mru/mtu. If you think this will solve the
problem, could you please give me more info on mru/mtu?

And is bsdcompression vital to speed up the connection??

By the way, I didn't use the debian script pon and poff. Since I have many
ISPs, I wrote a shell script for them. It looks as follows:

case $1 in
A)
/usr/sbin/pppd connect 'chat -v  ATDT CONNECT \
OK ogin: USERNAME word: PASSWORD election 3' /dev/modem 115200 \
-detach crtscts modem defaultroute 
;;


Is there anything wrong with the script? I use them in Redhat as well, and
it didn't cause trouble at all...


Thanks for any help in advance.

What version of pppd are you using with Red Hat?  What version with Debian?
What options are you giving pppd under Red Hat?  What options under Debian?

 I tried that and it didn't help.

I would not expect it to.

 By the way, I didn't use the debian script pon and poff. Since I have
 many ISPs, I wrote a shell script for them.

You didn't need to do that.  You could have run pppconfig once for each
ISP, giving each a unique name.  You would then have been able chose which
to call by entering 'pon isp-name'.

 -detach crtscts modem defaultroute 

 Is there anything wrong with the script?

'-detach' means do not fork and become a background process.  '' tells the
shell to make pppd a background process.  Using both isn't wrong, exactly,
but it doesn't do anything either.  Leave out both the '-detach' and the
''.

 I use them in Redhat as well, and it didn't cause trouble at all...

The script should work fine.  It also does nothing not built into the
Debian ppp system.

Re: PPP connection speed

1998-11-14 Thread Tom Pfeifer
One way to do it is like this:

1) In your /etc/ppp/peers/provider file, modify your connect line to
look something like this:

connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -r report-file -f /etc/chatscripts/provider

where the -r report-file specifies the file to report the speed to. 

2) In your /etc/chatscripts/provider file, you need to tell the modem to
report the connect speed. Mine looks like this:

ABORT BUSY
ABORT NO CARRIER
ABORT VOICE
ABORT NO DIALTONE 
ABORT NO ANSWER
REPORT CONNECT  == I added this line
 ATZ
OK ATW2 == and this one also
OK ATDT1234567
CONNECT \d\c

You may need to take a look at your modem's manual. For mine, the ATW2
command does what I want.

The end result is that the connect speed is written to the report file
each time I connect. I'm sure there's plenty of variations on how to do
this, including displaying it each time, if that's what you want. See
the chat man page for more information.

PPP Connection Speed

1998-09-29 Thread Shao Ying Zhang
Hi all,
Could anyone please help me with this?  
   

   
Somehow, I cannot get a fast ppp connection anymore.
   

   
In redhat, my ppp connection is normally around 3K/sec. 
   
But in debian, my ppp connection is around 800bytes/sec.
   

   
I had this ppp problem once in RedHat. I initialised my ppp 
   
when system redhat booted up. The system will keep calling pppd to  
   
check if my modem is available. so when I turn on my modem, it will

Somehow, I cannot get a fast ppp connection anymore. 
   
 
In redhat, my ppp connection is normally around 3K/sec. 
But in debian, my ppp connection is around 800bytes/sec. 
   
 
I had this ppp problem once in RedHat. I initialised my ppp when
system redhat booted up. The system will keep calling pppd to check if my
modem is available. so when I turn on my modem, it will start dialing.

two things you might check:

does redhat have bsdcompression turned on, and debian not?
does redhat have a mru/mtu set, and debian not?

you don't say what speed modem you have.  also, don't forget with
compression the throughput depends a lot on the type of data being
transferred (text compresses more), plus if you're calling during peak
times your ISP may not have the bandwidth to support everyone at full
speed.

Debian does not have either bsdcomp or deflate in the distributed options
file.  However, I believe that pppd will agree to either if the other end
offers it.  Perhaps his isp is not offering compression: try putting
'bsdcomp 15,15' in /etc/ppp/peers/provider.

 does redhat have a mru/mtu set, and debian not?

Debian has no mru or mtu in the distributed options file.  However, pppd
defaults to 1500, which should give maximum throughput.

Geez, why does your mailer fill your line with whitespace until they

But back to your question about low connection speed in debian.

1. If yu have a Pentium (- fast serial port) and at least a 28.800
modem, check if setserial is setting it to the highest speed.

Edit /etc/rc.boot/0setserial and change STD_FLAGS=session_lockout to 
STD_FLAGS=session_lockout spd_vhi

Check man setserial for more info.

You could also try to increase the priorty of your serial
port. Install the hwtools package. By default it will make irq4 = com2 
top priority. Check /etc/rc.boot/hwtools and man irqtune.

Ciao,
Martin

Hi...

The local2 syslog facility. Debian normally saves this to
/var/log/ppp.log, and /var/log/syslog, besides all the others
(/var/log/messages?).

 It should be contained in your connection log. Just type 'plog'. If it is
 not visible, you can more the log. I think it is under /etc/logs/

I checked plog, and it didn't report any connect speed.  I also
purused /var/adm/ppp.log -- no luck there, either.  shrug

Thanks, though!

Add 'REPORT CONNECT' to your chatscript and call chat with 
'-r /etc/ppp/report' and the 'CONNECT' string reported by your modem will
appear in /etc/ppp/report.  Add 'X4' to your modem init string and it will
report the connect speed.
