ER8411 VPN Asymmetric Performance
I have two ER8411: Router A, and Router B.
- Router A has a public IP address and acts as an L2TP Server (encrypted).
- Router B (at a different site) is behind a NAT and runs as an L2TP LAN-LAN client (encrypted).
- Each of the two routers is on a 1GbE connection. Speed tests from devices behind both routers (before any VPN is configured) show symmetric 1GbE speeds to public speed test servers.
- When I enable the VPN and configure full tunneling through it with a Routing Policy, traffic from devices behind Router B is appropriately routed through Router A.
- Traffic from devices behind Router A (L2TP server) continue to have full symmetric 1GbE speeds to public servers.
- Traffic from devices behind Router B (L2TP LAN-LAN client) now have extremely asymmetric speeds (72Mbps down, 710Mbps up).
- The ER8411 advertises an encrypted L2TP speed of 2274.74 Mbps.
So my question is: what's the deal? Why am I losing 93% of my download speed on the VPN client on the VPN, when the advertised VPN throughput is more than double my link bandwidth?
I tried an OpenVPN config as well, seeing almost exactly the same asymmetric speeds.

1. Place it in bridge mode and test it bypassing the first NAT. Result is helpful for troubleshooting only when it is in a desired and controlled environment.

@Clive_A Router A and B are installed in two different physical locations, so I don't really have any way to bridge them directly together.

Is it based on the iperf test?
I am thinking if it is iperf, then you cannot test the speed at the same time. You upload 700Mbps, the other end will download 700Mps. This is actually expected. If you get up and down at 700Mbps at the same time, you need at least four windows of command prompt to run the iperf at the same time and the server and client of iperf should be vice versa.

No, this is tested using the openspeedtest Docker image (https://hub.docker.com/r/openspeedtest/latest). It first tests the download, then tests the upload. They are not being tested at the same time.
Never heard of this. It tested one at a time and it showed 70Mbps in downloading. Can you run iperf and make sure it is multi-session mode to test its max performance.

@Clive_A I'm not sure what you mean by "Why is your IP address displayed as 127.?". I'm testing the speed between two servers on private 127.* subnets, connected by L2TP encrypted VPN.
iperf3 speed tests with your requested settings show the same results (~900Mbps Client -> Server, ~20-80 Mbps Server -> Client).

@Clive_A I understand the question, but I don't understand why this is unexpected or confusing.
Router A has LAN subnet 172.18.0.0/16 and Router B has LAN subnet 172.19.0.0/16. So of course the clients on those LANs are going to have IPs in those subnets.
