Joost is exactly correct here. Test the links one connection at |
10 |
a time, not just all a once. You'll be able to get a 'sit of pants' feeling |
11 |
about the capabilities on each link (between devices). There are many many |
12 |
issues so let's first characterize each link by the bandwith. |

On ethernet interfaces this is a really cool tool:: |
16 |
|
17 |
net-analyzer/bwmon and net-analyzer/nbwmon |

'ip link' and 'netstat -nr' are a good start. Later on we'll get |
28 |
you some gui tools and a monitoring software (a ton of options)... |

Really? How do you know. It take lots of experimenting and testing |
39 |
and data collection over time to figure our exactly what your |
40 |
ISp(s) are doing. Usually several ISPs are in a link until you hit |
41 |
a 'peering point' |
42 |
|
43 |
'net-analyzer/traceroute' |
44 |
|
45 |
is your friend. At some point the ISPs will block traceroute info.... |

This is a very, very complicated issue. ISP(s) use devices to deliver |
54 |
and partition bandwidth; some with an incredible level of control |
55 |
(granularity). For instances they can 'port constrict' a service |
56 |
or a route to an endpoint or any number of things. So first fully |
57 |
study (characterize) the behavior of the links (connnections between |
58 |
devices) that you manage and develop that 'seat of pants' feeling about the |
59 |
network segments you manage. Then start sniffing up the outside folks, |
60 |
as best you can with the tools in the portage tree.....(many). |
61 |
|
62 |
|
63 |
You need to also understand that Usb has it's own problems, protocols and |
64 |
issues depending on how it was implemented by the chipsets use and the |
65 |
firmware inside the product. Other protocol (latencies and such) are layered |
66 |
on top of that. Ju are 'full stack' wheelin and dealing as soon |
67 |
as your run gui apps across that link.........brau. |
