Some? :)
Doug Porter and myself did a little test recently. From a Internet2 host of
his, he could download a file from a GEANT host of mine, by default at about
350-400 KB/s. The latency was 140 ms, if I recall correctly (it could have
been lower, not sure any more).
I increased the default wmem values (the second two numbers) by a factor of
two on the sending machine, and he gradually increased the rmem values up to
a factor of eight, and we got up to 3 MB/s, with an average of about 2 MB/s.
I also did the same test with ftp.de.d.o, ftp.se.d.o and a few other sites
that are a bit closer to me both network-wise and geographically, all of
which seemed to have a bit larger window sizes set up. I got at least a
doubled transfer rate on each of them.
These differences are pretty significant if you ask me.
