I've solved the T1 issues for now. It turns out that my Cisco was
set to default queueing limits (fair-queue 75) and throwing away output
packets due to the load. So many drops were occuring that TCP backoff
was reducing output throughput to 800Kbits/sec instead of staying pegged
at 1.5MBits/sec.
My servers have net.inet.tcp.inflight_enable turned on which means,
theoretically, that the TCP windows will not get out of control if I
increase the queue limits, so that is what I did. Now the output
throughput is pegged at 1.5MBits/sec and data flow seems to be running
smoothly, with only occassional bursts of drops.
leaf.dragonflybsd.org users may notice some lag at times, but it should
mostly be ok.
