DFS File Replication Issue - Windows Server 2008 R2

I am having a problem with DFS Replication that I just cannot figure out.

Windows Server 2008 R2

In one building, we are seeing perfect ping times and no dropped packets, but as soon as DFS Replication is enabled, we see 500-800ms and over 50% dropped packets.  And thats the entire internet connection doing that.

I have each DFS replicated folder limited to no more than 128K replication speed.

We have this replicated over to other building with the same exact internet speed (UP/DOWN) with no problems.

This had no problems until late last week now it continues to be a problem.  I have DFS Replication service disabled until I can get this figured out.

Any advise is welcomed.

The two locations are over a VPN.  The one having the trouble is suppose to be 1 MB upload, but realistically we see 512K most of the time.

RDC is enabled and running on this connection.

I do not have data collection nor snmp polling for the switches.

It saturates even if I have the replication limited to 128K or less?
