Low performance between Budapest and Trieste

PTS Case 13

Synopsis

HUNGARNET reported poor performance between Budapest and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste. Using SCP (secure copy) only 1.5Mbps could be achieved, which was less than expected or hoped for. However, the PERT discovered that the ICTP access link to GARR was heavily congested, sometimes even saturated, and this was determined to be the root cause of the poor throughput.
