Thanks everyone, I've gotten a lot of pointers off-list, and I have a good idea of our next few steps of verification. -Petter -----Original Message----- From: Petter Bruland [mailto:Petter.Bruland@allegiantair.com] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2013 9:20 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Cross country point to point link question Question for someone with some experience with long haul links (Las Vegas -- New Jersey) [Cisco 4510 - SVI-VLAN x]---trunk---[Nexus5K LH optic]===fiber==={carriers across country}===fiber===[Nexus5K LH optic]---trunk---[Cisco 4510 - SVI-VLAN x] We have two circuits, one that is the same vendor from east to west, and the other circuit is a two vendor deal. Both circuits are 1 Gbps with around 67-70 ms delay. As soon as we had the links turned up, our SAN guy started complaining about poor throughput, asking us to throw in a couple of wan accelerators. He was seeing a max throughput of around ~200 Mbps. Question: For a long haul 1 Gbps link with 67-70 ms delay, would installing a pair of wan accelerators make a big difference? Thanks, -Petter Bruland
