Hi,
I am on Hotwire's network. I see a peculiar thing happening during my downloads.
Whenever i download things, i see a sudden "starting" speed bursts, which start from 45-50 kb(bytes)ps, go on decreasing every 500 milisecs or so & become steady @ my usual 7.5 to 8 kbps.
What is this? Why is it happening if my account is configured to be @ 8 kbps? Can i sustain this burst a little longer? anyhow? <GRIN>
I use hotwire too. Hotwire has recently installed packetshaper based traffic management system. The software is configured to allow an initial burst speeds for a few kilobytes, and then the download is slowed down to your alloted speed.
It is not possible to sustain burst speeds in the same TCP connection. A *new* TCP connection *might* be allocated a burst speed "quota" too, depending on the way the software is configured. But it is not possible in the same connection.
