Re: [Soekris] Significant issues with 6501 upstream performance

If you have a smart switch available, as you imply, you could vlan off a segment to be your upstream interconnect; connect it in between your cable modem and net6501, and watch for traffic that way. At the very least, having an upstream switch could let you check error counts on ethernet

120/5 mbps connection is VERY asymmetric, and implies cable. Cable companies often prioritize traffic in unusual ways. Even if they don’t, the acks going upstream for payload coming down could saturate your upstream without uploading any content at all. I would put limiters on your traffic

Hi I've had a 6501 for a couple years now, and thought everything was great, but thinking back one thing did change for the worse when I installed this box. When I'm part of any kind of p2p "swarm", I can't upload reliably. It's so bad that I've rarely ever seen more than 20KBps per peer, and
