Re: why upload with adsl is faster than 100M ethernet ?

Thanks.

I've done the experiments. The reason is: the 100Mbps
ethernet is so fast that it could fill the buffer of
bottleneck link very quickly ( Path_mtu, burstness of
traffic). There may also exist ACK compression in
reverse path .

it is probably worth doing an experiment, by placing
a target host 
just before the edge router, inside your net, and
verify that you do 
not get the (bad) differential performance there.
