We are trying to use VPN to connect server to server (across 2 separate LANs).* The servers are both Windows NT 4.0 with SP4 and SP5 respectively.* Our connection to the outside is 128kbps via microwave.* After establishing a VPN connection to server 1 FROM server 2, VPN reports a connection rate of 10,000,000 bps.* Our transfer rates, both upload and download are as follows:
*
Download (transfer file from location 1 to location 2)
130KB-* 1 min 30 sec
240KB - 50 sec
269KB - 2 min 35 sec
583KB - 3 min 50 sec ( first attempt dropped, 2nd was successful)
1158KB - dropped
1492KB - dropped
*
Upload (transfer file from location 2 to location 1)
240KB - 18 sec
583 KB - 1 min 15 sec
*
Again, all transfers were made while at server 2 connecting to server 1.* Transfer rates should obviously be faster than a modem connection and about as fast as the internet connection would allow the NICs' throughput.* Any larger than 1MB file transfer would eventually be dropped.
*
Has anybody had any success with VPN - better transfer rates, stable connections, etc.?* Is it a technology that can be used to establish and maintain a working wide area network?
