The new satellite link is much better than the old, I have been through enough of them to know ....
Hybrid phone out sat in KU Sat in and out 512 K in and 20 K out KA Sat in and out 1024 K in and 200 K out I have been using pfSense since 1.0 I think and generally it has worked quite well. It was only late summer when this started to become an issue my provide said it was my tree (its bare now so .....) but I think it was close to the time I put and update to pfSense on I just don't remember whether it was 1.2 RC1 or RC2 It used to stay up for weeks on end. I have a couple of suggestions to try and a week in Jamaica coming up. Maybe one of those things will help. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Paul M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2008 5:04 AM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] Dropped WAN connections Ron Lemon wrote: > I have a satellite internet connection, both in and out, attached to a > pfSense 1.2RC3 box. long ago when I played with a satellite internet link, it was windows only, and required some special software on the windows box which spoofed the 3 way handshake and also ACKs to give the IP stack a false sense of improved latency. As long as the signal was good so packet loss was small, it worked OK. It worked well for FTP and WWW when you didn't care about latency, as once data was streaming it came down pretty fast. Interactive use - ssh for example - was almost impossible, and uplink speed was very poor. my point being that you'll have to mess about a lot with timer settings to make satellite link work properly without timeouts, whether you can find some sort of tun/tap driver which will do the spoofing and improve perceived latency is another matter. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
