There are numerous ways to create a 3M/3M circuit, some of which would handle this workload better than others. For all we know, MS happens to also have a windowsupdate server colocated at his ISP which would kind of suck since the low latency will further help TCP utilize the full link. Nor do we know anything about how the ISP router is configured - is it doing anything "funky", is it prioritizing packets somehow (maybe TOS high got set somehow on the windowsupdate packets - a tcpdump would certainly help show that), etc, etc. --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
