I am not so sure your reasoning is correct here, Martin.Even though the "bandwidth" is greater in one direction, that only affects the "speed" of packet transfer when the link is reaching its maximum capacity. With low traffic, packets go at the same % of the speed of light in both directions.For example, if roadworkers close half the lanes of a freeway at 2am, a
single driver can still drive at the same speed as the night before; but at 9am, there will be a traffic jam and everyone has to slow down.
I'm pretty sure that what I wrote is correct, but I should have used the word "linkspeed" rather than "bandwidth". This is a well known problem in time synchronization across the network.
