by Hi,
I'm currently in the process of setting up a satellite link with
dedicated bandwidth connected to the internet. I'm aware of the
issues with regards to windows/latency and the need to tune TCP
parameters on the satellite link machine.
The machines chief role is to do transactions with another machine
that is co-located on a fast link. The other machine also accepts
connections from other clients with ADSL type links.
Now I'm wondering what I should do with the other machine,
specifically if I tune this machine with the same settings as the
satellite machine how will it affect the performance of non-satellite
connections?
Is it possible to tune TCP parameters on a network interface basis?
For example everything to and from the satellite will go via an
openvpn connections' tun device.
Another possiblity may be to play arround with source of our main
application via IOCTL calls.
Anyone have any insights they can share?
Many thanks in advance.
