You've got the right fix, but for the wrong reason. It's not the encryption, it's the routing. Basically Verizon has a great big unsaturated network. Level 3 (who hosts a lot of Netflix content) has a great big unsaturated network. The peering point between the two networks is 100% utilized. There's good info on it here: http://blog.level3.com/global-connectivity/verizons-accidental-mea-culpa/ When you VPN into work, you're now using Verizon's peering point with whatever ISP hosts your company, which is unsaturated. Then your movie streams over the Level 3 peering point with your company's ISP. You effectively route around their damage. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
