SFTP slow performance - intermittent issue
We are using the WINSCP for SFTP file transfer. SFTP command triggering from informatica application server.
Sometimes it is completing the 40 MB file transfer less than a minute. But sometimes it is taking couple of minutes to complete.
Our observation. When we see the below message "Increasing the send buffer value from current value to double, it will transfer the file less than a minute.
When no change in Increasing send buffer value . It is taking long time to transfer the files.
Please suggest us do we have any parameters to change in WINSCP/SFTP client.
Please find below log for reference.
• Tried to compare SFTP logs for good performance (26 secs) vs. poor performance (12 mins 30 secs). In both the cases file size remains same.
• During slow performance, I don’t see Increasing send buffer entries and ~7 mins between below two events (in attached file, refer log events between 2021-03-03 02:41:04.955 and 2021-03-03 02:53:30.483)
o Initially buffer size is set to 262144 and later it’s not increasing
• During good performance, I see entries with Increasing send buffer. Not really sure how this is controlled and whether this is cause for poor performance (in log file, refer log events between 2021-03-03 03:39:07.966 and 2021-03-03 03:39:30.203)
o Initially buffer size is set to 262144
o Later it’s increased to 2097152
