Interesting thought -- I might be causing my own problems. Certainly there can be transactions with on the order of a hundred different hosts all going on. But saturating the MAC table of the router doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would cure itself after a minute or so of inactivity.
I don't buy the "MAC table" theory. Unless you're connecting to hundreds of hosts on the local network between your router and roadrunner's router (next segment upstream), then the ARP table of your router never enters into it. Your router should only give a rat's ass about your client machine's MAC address, and the MAC address of the next router upstream. Anything else from the Internet at large is handily routed for you.
