Mike, Thank you for sharing the information. It is a really good performance measure for a small business network.
----Mike---- *I used to have choppy tx audio when large ftp uploads occurred ( with a few different routers tested ), but Tomato has greatly improved this to the point where it almost never occurs. But due to cranking up the QOS for voip I have had instances where remote VNC connections become sluggish, but this expected with so much voip on my home Rogers connection.* -------------- I have seen exactly same problem when large FTP uploads.
