Hi,
We have noticed that when a snapmirror runs between our filers with a maximum transfer rate of 1000 KB/s, we are seeing peaks of traffic of around 24Mb/s.
This has been confirmed using ethereal, that it is the snapmirror traffic.
We have noticed that these peaks are causing excessive amount of dropped packets on the wan interface of the routers between all the site. we have tried a number of difference queuing strategies and bandwidth shaping, but the router cannot buffer all the packets during the peaks and starts dropping them. As we also use these links for both voice and video, we are seeing high jitter rates during these peaks, and need to do something about it.
We have a mixture of FAS250's and FAS270's all are showing the same problem
Has anyone else experienced this ? Or does anyone have any ideas.
Cheers
Matt
