Problem : using AGS+ linked to IGS via 112 Kbps serial line file transfer performance using decnet or ndm (on top of decnet) was awful, terrible slow until we turned route cache off. After suffering some debugging time where the sympotom was sloooow performance we turned off route cache. Performance went way up such that transfer rates were very close to all that 112 has to offer. The cisco manualk suggests that route cache should be off for "slow speed lines" though slow is not defined. We think that performance is toilet unless this route cache is turned off. Other experiences ???? Also, what is slow and of course what is fast ? is anything less than T1 consdiered slow ?? First thought this was a "bug" but now think that manual is poorly worded and that route cache should be off for decnet on any fractional sppeed line. As we roll out more routers on diff speed lines we would like to know more. steve cunningham GE Aerospace valley forge PA
