On multiple core systems OpenSSH is limited to using a single core for all operations. On these systems this can result in a transfer being processor bound even though additional CPU resources exist. In order to open up this bottleneck we've developed a multi-threaded version of the AES-CTR cipher. Unlike CBC mode, since there is no dependency between cipher blocks in CTR mode we

http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ Mike Stevens and I just released a new set of high performance networking patches for OpenSSH 3.9p1, 4.0p1, and 4.1p1. These patches will provide the same set of functionality across all 3 revisions. New functionality includes 1) HPN performance even without both sides of the connection being HPN enabled. As long as the bulk data flow is in the

[NB: General information regarding HPN-SSH can be found at http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh ] This is a beta release of HPN12 but I'd like to get some user experiences with it if anyone is so inclined. This version of the HPN patch more closely conforms to the openssh nomenclature and coding style, it eliminates the use of command line switches in favor of -o options, it

The HPN patch set has been updated to work with OpenSSH4.6. This patch can help improve performance of bulk data transfers when using SSH, SCP, or SFTP. Please see http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh for more information. The patch is available from the above address or directly with http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/openssh-4.6p1-hpn12v16.diff.gz If you have any

The HPN12 patch available from http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh addresses performance issues with bulk data transfer over high bandwidth delay paths. By adjusting internal flow control buffers to better fit the outstanding data capacity of the path significant improvements in bulk data throughput performance are achieved. In other words, transfers over the internet are a lot

Howdy, As a note, we now have HPN patch for OpenSSH 4.2 at http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ Its still part of the last set of patches (HPN11) so there aren't any additional changes in the code. It patches, configures, compiles, and passes make tests without a problem. I've not done extensive testing for this version of openssh but I don't foresee any problems. I

This is a preliminary release and as such should be used at your own risk. In my testing the application builds under OS X and Linux, passes the regression tests, and file transfer tests on our test connections exhibited a 1600% increase in performance (1.4MB/s versus 20.9MB/s 46ms RTT). This patch (hpn12v10) is available from

http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh There have been some changes to the command line switches which are detailed on the website. This is more of a stop gap release than anything else. This is still in the HPN-11 cycle of patches. We hope to have an update to HPN-12 out sometime in March (when I can get some freetime). This will conform more closely to the OpenSSH nomenclature and

HPN-SSH is a set of high performance patches which add dynamic window sizing, none cipher switching, enhanced server logging, and a multi-threaded cipher implementation to OpenSSH. We've just updated the patches to the OpenSSH 4.9 release and made them available from http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ Comments, questions, and criticisms are always welcome. Thanks for your

Howdy, It's been a while since I've made an announcement here but I wanted to mention that we've just released a set of HPN-SSH patches for OpenSSH6.2. The release marks the first time I've had the resources/help to actually do anything more than just forward port the patches in quite a while. http://www.psc.edu/index.php/hpn-ssh Items of note: 1) The multithreaded AES-CTR

Ben Bennett and I (both researchers at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center) have released the HPN13v1 patch set for OpenSSH 4.7p1. Primarily this release incorporates the previously announced multi-threaded AES-CTR mode cipher which will allow users to make better use of multi-core environments. In our test environments we've seen upwards of a 100% improvement in throughput performance

So one of my coworkers is doing a little research on SSH usage in the wild using netflow data. One of the things he's trying to do is determine a way to differentiate between data transfers and interactive sessions. We thought of a couple of ways but we wanted to float them here and see if there are methods incorporated to defeat thi sort of traffic analysis. The first idea is to look at

Hi, http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ Clearly, the HPN patches significantly boost throughput performance. This enhancement is entirely from tuning the SSH buffer sizes. Alex Tavcar

We've released a new HPN (High Performance Network) patch for OpenSSH 3.9p1. We've made two major changes - first off we backed out of all the modifications we made to buffer.c. Turns out that it just wasn't necessary once we fixed a nagging bug in channels.c. I also made a minor change to the buffer sizes in the source and sink functions in scp.c Increasing the size of both

The results, for anyone interested, can be found here http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/results.html Long story short, there doesn't seem to be any notable difference between the two anymore. I still have a few more test combinations to run (<.5ms rtts and against cygwin) so the conclusions might change but, at this point, I'm no longer seeing any sort of performance

Hello, I know that this has been asked before, just wanted to mention that I, too, would like to see the HPN SSH functionality incorporated in the standard OpenSSH. Would there be technical disadvantages integrating the changes? I know we are all pretty busy, but I would certainly spend time to help, e.g. with testing, documentation, etc. Cheers --pwo -- Peter W. Osel - http://pwo.de/ - pwo

We have developed a patch that enables changing the SSH window size using the tcp window size as the source. This allows SSH to obtain maximum use of the bandwidth on high BDP links. We also have a page that describes the changes and performance. http://www.psc.edu/~rapier/hpn-ssh/ The patch against CVS is included here. Common subdirectories: src/usr.bin/ssh/CVS and ssh/CVS diff -u

Dear rsync folks, I'd like to request/suggest that cli options to set TCP send/receive buffers be added to rsync client-side. Summary: I'm aware that a daemon's config-file can set socket options for the server side (e.g. SO_SNDBUF, SO_RCVBUF). That is useful. But when trying to get high-throughput rsync over long paths (i.e. large bandwidth*delay product), since
