Hi. I noticed that when I'm copying a file over SSH (not SFTP) the communicated TCP window size is ~ 250k, but the actual bytes_in_flight never raise above 50k. What could be the reason? Does Windows ignore this packet field? Is there a tweak for that? The sender is Windows 10 and the receiver is Windows 7.
$ ssh -oCompression=no [email protected] 'dd bs=1M if=/dev/zero' | pv -f >/dev/null
4.53MiB 0:00:27 [ 297KiB/s]
When multiplexing, it's possible to reach the theoretical throughput:
$ ( for ((i=0;i<20;i++)); do ssh -oCompression=no [email protected] 'dd bs=1M if=/dev/zero' & sleep 1; done ) | pv -f >/dev/null
102MiB 0:01:08 [1.86MiB/s]
The ping is 129ms:
$ ping 192.168.149.55
