Re: FiOS Unadvertised Symmetrical Plan 25/25
said by Opteron :
Is there a benchmark that would test bi-directional transfer? because with 25/15, I get 24/21 on speakeasy, but actual concurrent transfer is a combined throughput of 25 instead of 40+.
umm, isn't this the way it's supposed to work? the speeds are not concurrent speeds, you need to account for overhead (acks and whatnot) |

No, if you were having delayed acks, you would be seeing the throughput in the other direction suffer. Think about this for a minute: you are using 10mb downstream and nothing (significant) upstream. If you tried to push 15mb upstream, the acks for that traffic (which consume down bandwidth) would certainly not add up to 10mb more. |
