Converting [TCP over TCP] to UDP over TCP improve Speed?

pada123

Good day all,
I am testing UDP and TCP openvpn . using TCP i get around 30% less speed than UDP..
.Which is obvious

I am thinking some way to overcome it...so the scenario is like this

UDP port is blocked by admin. User have to use TCP.
plan is set up a openvpn UDP server and a translator tunnel program..which is TCP server ...receive stream and forward it to openvpn udp server in same box.

In client openvpn will be UDP type....it will first connect to a samll UDP program in localhsot ( REMOTE localhost ) and that program will communicate to TCP server and send the stream

UDPOpenvpn Client --->> (UDP server+TCP Client)   >>>> Internet>>>>>>>>> ( TCP server+UDP client) --> OpenvpnUDP server.

here as we are using Openvpn in UDP mode both in server and client
and it s now not TCP over TCP ..its now UDP over TCP
will it help to over come TCPOpentvpn issue to some extent..... I know setting up an extra server will have impact at Server Box.

I will test it later..If any body give me their Idea.

Thanksfor your time

I wouldn't even bother to try this: if your traffic must pass over a TCP link at one point AND your link is susceptible to packet loss (like most DSL connections are) then you will always see a performance drop, whether you switch to udp first ,then convert to tcp etc or not.

encapsulating TCP traffic inside UDP traffic which is then sent over a TCP link is *still* sending TCP traffic over TCP traffic. You should tweak some other settings (most notable the mtu size) before attempting to use or write udp-to-tcp convertors.
