Test transfer from the webserver to the client = 3.5Mb/s
Test transfer from the internet to the client = 1.5Mb/s

These numbers do not compute to me. Why would my Internet transfer to the client be less than the Webserver to the client?

What size is Your pipe to the internet?. If it is only a T1, that would explain it. The other reason is overhead. Running a speed test from the net to a client is not a tell all, as net congestion etc. could be an issue?

Looks like your bottle neck is somewhere in your NOC? cause you are getting 3 megs from client to webserver still kind of a large loss there but the majority of your loss is from the noc to the net?

What are you using in the NOC for bandwidth control switches etc? I know when I had a net config I.E 10 meg full instead of 100 MEG full duplex it affected service as well. We have a 6 meg pipe and NEVER have we seen a customer get the full 6 megs during testing the most we saw at any customer site was 4.5 megs to the net. Also how or what are you using to determing speed?

That was with Trango 5.8 gear wide open.. during busy and non busy times. Give us the layout of how your network is once it gets to the NOC?

Are all of your tests (Web Server to Internet, Client to Web Server, and Client to Internet) using FTP for the tests?

said by viperm :

Next question is your AP on top of the NOC? if so can you measure bandwidth from a client unit pointed to the ap right there less then 50 ft? and if your AP is at a remote location can you test right at your AP? check at this one or two locations and see what you get?

So work your way back from the client etc..
