All,

From notes from several users and my own experience, I've found that my 
NDT server seems to greatly underrate inbound (server to client) 
bandwidth. However, from my campus machine, the speeds (inbound and 
outbound) seem about right and consistent with tests just after I 
deployed the new server.

As a data point, I've run the NDT test and gotten results and then run a 
DSL reports speed test.  The DSL report site usually gives me the speed 
I believe I have at my home via cable modem, while NDT reports 
drastically different results.

For example:

NDT
running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 757Kb/s
running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 2.78Mb/s

DSL Reports
Upload    768K
Download  7.34M

Also, NDT provides an extra line suggesting that setting my received 
buffer to a different value would give better results.  Originally, I 
was getting results via NDT very similar to the DSL numbers and no 
additional commentary on the receiver buffer size.

Any ideas what might have happened or is happening with my server?

I've rebooted and stopped and restarted the services several times. 
I'm using 5.3.3e version of the frontend.

Any help would be appreciated!
