You didn't say what version of Firebird you are using. If it is not
3.x, you can expect very bad performance transferring data over WAN.
FB 3 implemented changes in the wire protocol making things much
faster in high latency networks. The only remaining "problem" is if
you need to transfer blobs (it will be slow).

nycfs> The actual data transferred is less than 11 Mbit.

nycfs> The bandwidth is not an issue, 100Mbps/100Mbps up/down.

nycfs> Point to Point Bandwidth tests show 95 Mbps with 7.6 ms round trip.

nycfs> Ping tests show client to server ping with 65500 bytes round trip time 19ms.

nycfs> Am I missing something here or what is slowing down these firebird communications???

nycfs> Any help would be appreciated.
