Network Administrator

08/05/2007 11:59 PM

Hi Guys,

i am network administrator in an organization. I have domain network. I am controlling 45 systems on domain. but at the same time 5 sysems are in chinese language. when these systems are logged in and whenver surface the internet browsing facility, the internet speed on other systems slow down.

I have fiber optic cable network. a cross UTP cable is coming from main switch to 8 port switch and this switch is controlling the shinese systems.

Is there any scenario to make the internet speed of other systems well when these system(Chinese) use internet .

If I understand you correctly, you need to provide some bandwidth policing on the port that connects the switch to your service carrier (Internet).

Sounds like these 5 systems override any other traffic going out the port to the internet. See if there are any commands for distributing bandwidth more evenly on this port by either Class of Service (COS) Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), or just being able to divide up the bandwidth among IP addresses.

Hope this helps.

A Linux Proxy/Internet Server might help you with your problem.

try this -- at run type "cmd" -- then at dos type "ping (a chinesse website)"

then type "ping yahoo.com" -- then compare --- ping your access equipment by name routers or severs by name or number.

The Chineese are really down on porno they may have your access going thru a filter. Or with the current NSA stuff in Washinton well you can figure that out.

ping different sites will give you an idea to work with.

I was recently in China, and I discovered that even broadband internet runs very very slow. I attributed this to the Chinese government monitoring and restricting internet traffic (as a guess). Things were so slow that I eventually gave up and only used the internet for that traffic which absolutely had to be taken care of then, and saved the other stuff for when I got back to the US. I also noted that I could not access our "Youth Symphony" website from China... saying that there was some heavy duty censoring going on.

Sincerely

Bill

I really don't think it's censoring. More than likely, they have their broadband grossly over subscribed. Remember, it's a shared medium.

TRUE!

Shanghai was the only city in which I had time to connect, and being something like the third largest city, I can easily imagine this happening.

I wonder if he could prioritize the subscribers on his network such that the high speed trafficers would get more time while the slow talkers would get less. The slow talkers probably would never notice the difference.

Of course this may be what you were talking about above.

Your basic broadband plant has multi-protocol routers, containing one or more CMTS (Cable Modem Termination Service) boards. These boards have one downstream line and four upstream lines - this is all on coax. From there, the multi-protocol router takes the traffic to where-ever and how-ever it wants to go.

Depending on whether the service provider offers CoS and QoS and policing of these policies his broadband lines, you can get anything from sharp service to a trickle. Most new deployments (1-3 years old), just set up the lines and fill them with as many customers as possible. Then, they slowly start to learn, "Yes, everybody can be online at the same time!" From there, they usually deploy a lot more routers and CMTS cards, and start reading the manual for information on provisioning resources.

Since reading your question I have paid more attention to my own access speeds and I have come to realize at certain times my access speeds drop.

The low access speed are around the times that banks open and when they back up their systems next is about the time that the west coast businesses start to come on line. I live on the east coast.

I now belive my access provider has oversold their band width and are hope that people will not complain.

This is the way it's currently done... If I can just squeeze this one more guy online! Of course, if they do this to their business customers, then they stand to lose BIG BUCKS!!!

But it's better than it was when broadband was first offered to the public.

How many of you can tell me when broadband communication technology was first popular?

I'm not sure about origins, but plenty of people are still waiting for Broadband. The UK is a bit chaotic in terms of who provides what service where. BT still largely control the hardware infrastructure , and many people find problems with obtaining Migration Authorization Codes to switch ISPs.

and what side are you on?!

I try to sit in the middle which doesn't work, so I just keep hopping over - that's why my trousers are so tight and I have a raggedy shirt. Iron-ouch... Silk-mmmm....Picket-Fence

Dracons is Roman. We have something called 'Civil Service' .shhhuuuuder. BT is something to do with Pixies - they have pictures of them on all their stuff. Virgin Media are top of my hate list at present ()

I know Branson is starting to show his age, but I just don't believe that. Then again, I think Virgin Medias accounts department may still be using an abacus or something...

Nah, she could do it a darn site better.

Could it be that interpretation-time of that 64 thousand characters language simply slows down any system in which it works?

It might simply be that the language itself slows the traffic down

Hi, I suggest you should separate these 5 systems from other. the Chinese systems are connected to international gateway and these gateway used E1 or E3 for the connection going out side the USA, but inside the USA they used T1 or T3. here is the bottleneck because the bandwidth difference between T1 = 1.544 Mb/s, and E1 = 2,048 Mb/s. try to find out and I advice to use separate access line for only for these 5 Chinese systems.

Best Regards

How the heck do you know that?! They could be just as easily be running across ATM switches at OC 192. And he's said nothing about having a special bridging line for these five machines.

Meanwhile, what are the other machines connected to the Internet with? Could be that they're also connected by T1/E1 or T3/E3. You're assuming much. I'm not dissing you, just saying you might want to ask him some questions about how the intranet leaves and joins the Internet.
