Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp
I'm using a fresh install of Intrepid 64bit on a machine with 4GB of memory. I've got a PPTP tunnel running back to work. I quickly noticed that performance was very poor over this link. There are a lot of stalls; web pages take a very long time to render and SSH connections stall a lot. I may be a bit presumptuous in assuming this is a bug - but this issue present with Hardy 32bit. While diagnosing the issue I noticed a lot of packet buffering mesages in the syslog:
Nov 2 08:42:41 john00-desktop2 pptp[8338]: nm-pptp-service-8329 log[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:414]: buffering packet 1576 (expecting 1575, lost or reordered)
Nov 2 08:42:41 john00-desktop2 pptp[8338]: nm-pptp-service-8329 log[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:414]: buffering packet 1577 (expecting 1575, lost or reordered)
Nov 2 08:42:41 john00-desktop2 pptp[8338]: nm-pptp-service-8329 log[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:414]: buffering packet 1584 (expecting 1583, lost or reordered)

Nov 2 08:42:42 john00-desktop2 pptp[8338]: nm-pptp-service-8329 log[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:414]: buffering packet 1589 (expecting 1588, lost or reordered)
Nov 2 08:42:42 john00-desktop2 pptp[8338]: nm-pptp-service-8329 log[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:414]: buffering packet 1590 (expecting 1588, lost or reordered)
Nov 2 08:42:42 john00-desktop2 pptp[8338]: nm-pptp-service-8329 log[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:414]: buffering packet 1593 (expecting 1592, lost or reordered)
My Wireshark packet captures show a lot of retransmissions and duplicate ACK's which appear to be the cause of the performance problems:
18 39.050106 172.29.14.101 172.29.17.192 TCP [TCP Previous segment lost] [TCP segment of a reassembled PDU]
19 39.050145 172.29.17.192 172.29.14.101 TCP [TCP Dup ACK 15#1] 45754 > http [ACK] Seq=438 Ack=4333 Win=14592 Len=0 TSV=2398754 TSER=75797622 SLE=5777 SRE=6961

32 39.834203 172.29.14.101 172.29.17.192 HTTP [TCP Retransmission] HTTP/1.1 200 OK (text/html)
I'm not sure how to go about further diagnosing this issue. Perhaps it's related to other known issues with Network Manager.
Thank you,

Thank you,
