With flood ping I can saturate the bandwidth, but TCP runs ten to hundred times slower. How can I search for the cause?
I think that this should saturate the link, but instead it looks disgusting - the link is configured to 10.5 Mbit:
The Topology:
One hop less makes a difference by factor 10. Why?:
Consequentially, one might assume something is going wrong in the LAN. But then with Otherhost everything looks as it should:
RemoteHost and OtherHost are at the same AS. All systems are FreeBSD 12.2. I tried three different machines for RemoteHost, all show the same behaviour. What is going on?
