I did a test on the client machine to see what the tunnel did to my throughput.To where did you do you test? Point-to-point using iperf? Or did you test to the internet meaning: Option 1: VPN Client>Internet (6 up/2 down)> Fortinet> Internet (6 up/2 down)> Bandwidth testing server/site or Option 2: VPN Client (not connected)>Internet (6 down/2 up)> Bandwidth testing server/site AKA This is a little difficult to explain in text... Internet bandwidth test tunneling through VPN: 6Mbit-overhead>6Mbit-overhead>2Mbit>6Mbit>2Mbit-overhead Anyway... use iperf to test throughput... use hrping to test latency... What you need is a piece of software that transfers a file and give you time of the operation... creatfil.exe (not a typo) is a tool that will make a file, but doesn' t give you a T0+ time stamp. iometer is a little crazy for this situation. maybe xcopy or robocopy have a switch that' ll give you time? First thing you should do is test with iperf. You' ll be quite sad what the throughput actually is... how many hops? no QoS over the internets :( Are you using the same isp? While not connected, run a tracert or a pathping to see how many hops you' re going through. If it' s the same ISP, the traffic may not leave their network. We use Cogent in NYC and will be using Cogent in Geneva, Switzerland; Cogent said that it won' t leave their network. Let me know how it goes. I' d be interested in an average of ten runs from both sides. Good luck, Matt
