Description ota 2009-03-19 05:20:00 UTC

Connection between ggate server and client slows down significantly while
coying a  file, about more than 20MB file size can cause the problem.
During slowdown, both server and client wants for each other and its
transmission rate is about 1 packet per second.  As a result, the system
really hangs up on any responses as FS does not response in timely manner.
All the commands then takes a couple of minutes easily to response to
the user.

Copying 20MB file taking more than 20 minuets is critically wrong.

Fix: The problem is ggated and ggatec create 2 TCP uni-directional connections.
That is screwing up the TCP layer.  Using 1 TCP connection for bi-
directional messaging fixes the problem.

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: server# echo "192.168.0.0/8 RW /dev/ad1" > /etc/gg.exports
server# ggated

client# ggatec create -orw server /dev/ad1
client# mount /dev/ad1 /mnt/backup
client# rsync -a --delete /home /mnt/backup

This only happens when server CPU is 10 to 20 times slower than client
and client writes to the device; as far as NIC, they are the same
100BASE-TX on these hosts.    It does not happen with all files, neither.
