The oscillation is related to buffering and is normal. If you are getting longer stalling periods where no packets are being transmitted then there could be a network problem. iptraf-ng, ntop and other tools can show if packets have stopped moving in either direction. From what you're describing the problem seems related to the squid application, since scp is not seeing similar timeouts. -- Regards, Mick
