Thanks for all the responses. These circuits are MPLS circuits so the upload/download speed should be the same?

Ok, thanks! &nbsp;I am checking on this.

I have a 20MB circuit at site A and a 6MB circuit at site B. &nbsp;I am just wondering why if I start the transfer from a host at Site B, the transfer speed is much faster. &nbsp;If I start a transfer from Site A (which has 20MB), it is just 4 times as slow. &nbsp;Could this be related to some fragmentation from the higher speed site to the lower speed site?<br />

Transfer speed

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.
