We have a filer running 8.1.2p1 I think.
Locally CIFS gets about 120 mb a sec. Quite fast a definitely good performance.
Over a WAN however CIFS gets all of 130 KB a sec.
We have looked at the common items. Enabled SMB2, no signing, increased the TCP window for CIFS.
We have even set flow control on the switch side to on for both send and receive. However, no matter what
we do the performance will not get better than 130 KB a sec.
When we do tests to a Win 2008 R2 machine over the same link we get 20 Mbytes a sec on a 200 Mbit link.
Latency is ok, 53 ms rtt. That isn't awful or anything.
Is there anything we could be missing? The WAN link goes from CA to TX. We have netapps at both ends
and have test both way to multiple netapps all with the same outcome. I have also tested from CA to Atlanta GA
with roughly the same numbers.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
