When I try to run iperf
on local server it reports reasonable values
iperf -c 127.0.0.1 -p 631
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 127.0.0.1, TCP port 631
TCP window size: 2.50 MByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 3] local 127.0.0.1 port 42824 connected with 127.0.0.1 port 631

[ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 2.40 MBytes 2.01 Mbits/sec
But when I connect to any remote server it reports ridiculously huge values
iperf -c www.google.com -p 80
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to www.google.com, TCP port 80

Looks like an overflow of some kind! I'm using a PPP connection from a USB EVDO modem to connect to the Internet and my iperf
version is iperf version 2.0.5 (08 Jul 2010) pthreads
.
Why is this happening?
