I'm trying to capture some large files from my house (on Comcast) to a
server out of state (not on Comcast). I'm copying the files using ssh
and a non-standard port.Things are fine for files of a couple megabytes,
but files over say 10 megabytes stall out part way through. One night I
got 50MB uploaded all night! So today I started up tcpdump on both ends
and captured the traffic. I noticed an interesting thing in wireshark
when the connection stalled out. I got a "TCP Previous segment lost"
message on the server side and then started getting "TCP Dup ACK" on
both ends. The server has a SonicWall firewall in front of it and is
virtualized with vmware. My house is using dd-wrt on a Linksys router as
my connection. Is this Comcast doing it's filtering for our protection
or is this just something misbehaving on either firewall?
