[lvs-users] LVS-DR and scp

[Scooter Morris]

Graeme,
     Thanks for the quick reply!  In answer to your question, the stall 
occurs in about 30 seconds, and the overall throughput is significantly 
slower to begin with.  For example, from my workstation to a node in the 
cluster, I get a throughput of around 9MB/s.  Going through the 
redirectors, it starts off at 1.2 MB/s and then stalls very quickly 
after that.  I actually added the "persistent = 600" in an attempt to 
see if that would help the situation, but it didn't.  Last night I also 
disabled IPV6 on all nodes to see if that had an impact, but no joy 
there either.   I'm happy to run tcpdump if it can provide any clues.
