Performance issues
I've been experimenting with the remote epics scripts to test out how usable it will be for remote commissioning tasks.
Running the LHO LSC overview and OPS overview MEDMs seems to require about 140 KB/s, which doesn't seem too burdensome.
Another issue I'm finding are the open MEDM screens slip in time. After a few minutes my screens are 30s behind my clock here. They also tend to hang every now and then (I'm guessing from dropped or missing packets?), but the clock ever catches up.
I'm concurrently using a nomachine connection to the site and that works flawlessly. So I don't think it's a bandwidth or latency issue.
Looking at the scripts in this repo the ssh connections do not seem to use the -C
argument for compression. Are these proxy servers setup to use compression automatically?
