Looks can sometimes be deceiving. ;-) I've seen Comcast drop packets left and right, but show 8Mbs/2Mbs on speed test sites. Other times I've seen the opposite, zero PL but extremely high latency (seconds, double digits!)... all the while non-dynamic web pages (probably cached upstream) loaded just fine. Look, I've always been a big fan of Comcast.... but at this point I suspect they have just about over-engineered their network. -Jim P. _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG () nanog org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
