WAN optimization/acceleration

@rtw915 smb over wan links is always a terrible idea.
Since it sounds like a batch copy, the best approach for latency would be breaking up the file into multiple volumes and do transfer in parallel.And is always a good idea to compress and crc such files, since corruption is common in large transfers.
It can be scripted in powershell. tar.xz is available on windows 10, and server 2019. And xz is a speedy multicore compressor.
(at least on linux :)
as for transfer, sftp is the standard option
You could also use http, etc.
As for signaling the other end that all files are complete you can use a date semaphore file, or do a remote http get.
The receiving end should do a test decompress, and if successful would decompress and assemble the original file.
rsync is a better option for that, but isn't directly supported on windows.It sounds complicated, but its quite straight forward.

Ok, the first thing I would do here then is run some iperf tests across the tunnel to determine what is possible with the current config.

@netblues this is a good idea. We have a 3rd data center that is 55ms away and are experiencing similar issues. I tried something like this with 7zip but it took like 5 hours just to compress and break the file into multiple volumes. I have never heard of .xz, so thank you for exposing me to that and it seems like it could be way better.
@stephenw10 I‘m familiar with iperf but not sure what action should be taken based on the results. Iperf was run on windows servers behind each of the pf clusters.

@rtw915 Can you possibly try iperf on pf boxes and outside the tunnel ?
Or port forward one end on windows and run iperf again over public ip and compare.
This will give an idea about tunnel overheads. -
I setup a port forward NAT rule. I don't want to have my public IP on here so it will be officiated. It does not seem like the tunnel is really adding that much overhead, right?

@rtw915 Well, yes, it looks like the tunnel isn't adding anything significant. However speed does fluctuate a lot and this is probably an indication for congestion somewhere.
Not much you can do I guess too.
With such fluctuations, anything tcp will suffer, especially anything smb based
7zip supports a multihread option in bzip2 format.
Check it out. (also be careful with multithreading. It can easily saturate all your resources.
Also robocopy supports parallel copies, (that is if you break up your file in volumes)
Linux is better at compressing, splitting, rsyncing and decompressing, but probably introducing a new server just for that might be an overkill too. -
Mmm, 38Mbps doesn't seem too bad given those results though. That's close to what you see with a single stream in iperf using the optimised window size.
Given that the tunnel itself (or even the route) doesn't support more that 80Mbps it's about what I might expect there. I'm not sure if there's any improvement to be found without changing something significant.Steve

@netblues I remembered why I got stuck when trying to split a single file into smaller volumes. The source does not have enough space to duplicate the file into the smaller volumes to then transfer in parallel. Is it possible to start moving the created volumes in parallel as they are created?
@stephenw10 I agree, but it is just too slow.
-
Higher WAN bandwidth? Faster hardware? What's it running on now?
-
Using Mathis equation: Rate < (MSS/RTT)*(1 / sqrt(p))
Where:
MSS: maximum segment size - 1300 for IPSec overhead
RTT: round trip time - 90ms
P: Loss rate in % - .0002 seems about right I hope10213764.62 bytes < (1300/.09) * (1/SQRT(.0002%))
10213764.62 bytes * 8 /10^6 = ~81Mbps
This calculator https://wintelguy.com/wanperf.pl does the Mathis equation too, and increasing the WAN bandwidth does not increase the throughput.
@stephenw10 We are running SYS-1019D-FRN8TP with 64GB of mem. Based on the minimal throughput difference between public and IPSec iperf tests and Mathis equation output, I don’t think it is a hardware issue. I think TCP connections need to be parallelized and/or a proxy to perform TCP ACK trickery with an optimal TCP window size. I don't know, maybe there is a third solution.

Ok, so after a few more hours of googling I found a file transfer tool for high latency connections that seems to work great! The throughput that UFTP http://uftp-multicast.sourceforge.net/ was able to achieve almost saturated the bandwidth of the connection through the tunnel (186 Mbps)! I tested with an 8GB file.
The remote side (Client) I ran this:
uftpd -B 2250000 -L C:\temp\uftpd_log.txt -F @LOGOn the local side (Server) this:
uftp -f -B 2250000 -b 1200 -R 200000 -M 10.30.20.20 "C:\temp\2-25-2021.pcapng"Transfer summary:
Transfer status: Host: 0x8811096B Status: Completed time: 359.405 seconds Total elapsed time: 359.405 seconds Overall throughput: 23350.92 KB/s ----------------------------- Finishing group Sending DONE 1.1 Got COMPLETE from client 0x8811096B Late completions: Sending DONE_CONF 2.1I think this solves the batch file transfer speed issue. Now the SQL team needs me to find a way to improve SQL linked server transfer rates to synchronize transactions.
-
Nice find!

@rtw915 said in WAN optimization/acceleration:
Now the SQL team needs me to find a way to improve SQL linked server transfer rates to synchronize transactions.
This will bring you back to the initial wan accelerator solution.
The only other possible solution is to redesing the db subsystem, utilizing some way of sql replication, taking into consideration propagation delays
