RE: Traffic extremely slow in one direction

I'm sure there are other options however I have had this problem several
time the last few weeks with my new data center.

My problem was solved when I told the unix admin's to check reverse DNS
and to try turning off the firewalls, after that I was good.

I have however not seen the problem with my actual "cisco configs"

Good Journey

  hi, all,

  I have a real world problem that I am scratching my head to find the
  root
  cause. We have a local data center at site A and a remote backup
  server at
  site B, site A and site B has its own service provider, the
  connection
  bandwidth is well above 50M in either site, traffic will traverse a
  GRE/IPsec tunnel which is configured between two 2800 routers, both
  routers
  have hardware accelerated IPSec encryption/decrytion module
  installed.

  It is interesting that traffic from site A to site B is extremely
  slow,
  performance is only around 10s packets/second, but FTP transferring
  data
  from site B to site A is reasonably fast, which is around 8Mb/sec. I
  am
  pretty sure service provider of site A is not rate limiting incoming
  traffic
  (even it does, noway they will rate limit to 10s packets/sec). What
  could be
  the root cause of such poor performance, any server experts here can
  give me
  a clue?

  Thanks,
  Jian
