A nifty graph that I have found to be fairly accurate is at a little way down the page. http://www.atlantateleport.com/Services/TCP_IP_Via_Satellite/tcp_ip_via_sate... And an intensive whitepaper at: http://public.lanl.gov/radiant/pubs/drs/hpdc2002.pdf Hope this helps. -v

Possibly someone in this forum with a better understanding of tcp/ip can articulate this better than I....
I realize that transfer rates across the Internet diminish significantly with latency, but what's the good answer for someone shrunk down to <10Mbps when the smallest pipe between them is 100Mbps and latency is <40ms?
Does anyone have reference to any study done in this area? I'm sure window tuning can alter this, but I'm interested in average statistics.
Any reference would be appreciated.
thanks, jeff
