Low RED throughput

ButtonPuncher
Hi,
   My remote branch users have been complaining about slow file copy times.  I'm only getting 3.2Mbps AGS220->RED and 1.3Mbps RED ->ASG220.  The ASG220 has a quad T1 6x6Mbps connection and the RED has a 50x10Mbps cable modem connection.  The tests were done between two Windows XP machines.  The RED is set up as standard/split so the only traffic going through the RED is just internal network traffic.  I know that Windows SMB protocol is pretty crummy, but could it really affect my transfer rate this much?  My ASG220 is an older v2 unit with only a 2.8GHz P4 but the CPU usage is only about 15% during the tests.  Screenshots...






I've also tested both connections and I'm able to saturate the T1's at 6Mbps and the cable modem speed tests at 38.5x8.7Mbps.

I read the thread below about slow RED transfer rates but I'm not using Bridged mode.

Thanks,
         Ben

    There will always be a little lost bandwidth, but that's too much.  Although it might only be your test metodolofgy, there may be a misconfiguration.  How did you test the bandwidth?

    Cheers - Bob
