Norstore:WAN-test

From Vd

The WAN network speeds must be tested:

1. LAN 1 thread ssl-bandwith: How much data are we able to get through one thread? Tests performed on a back-to-back connection between two 10Gbit machines.
2. LAN multiple thread ssl-bandwith: What is the optimal number of ssh-threads needed to fill the 10Gbit connection? Tests performed on a back-to-back connection between two 10Gbit machines.
3. WAN initial bandwith: How much data do we get Oslo->Trondheim on the 10Gbit line? Tests performed with 1 x scp of large file
4. WAN optimized bandwith: How much data do we get Oslo->Trondheim on the 10Gbit line after tuning? Tests performed with X x scp of large file

Test #	Schenario	Status	Expected result	Actual result	Date
1.	1	scp	We get a quite high throughput number
2.	2	scp	We find out number of threads needed to fill a 10Gbit line with crypted data - alternatively the max number of Mbit possible to generate and send from a single I/O host
3.	3	scp	We get quite low throughput (# KB) due to small MTU
4.	4	scp	We get quite high throughput (# MB) due to larger MTU
