Emiliano,

We have had anecdotal reports of this but it has not been confirmed so there is 
not a lot of information. But it would be helpful to understand your network 
architecture a little better, in particular the relationship between ATS, eth0, 
the clients, and the origin servers. Most ATS deployments have 2 ethernet 
interfaces, one for clients and one for origin servers. Do you have only one? 
Or if you have two, which side is this interface on?

One thing to consider is that ATS by default doesn't meter its input side, that 
fetching from an origin server. that is, ATS will read data from an origin 
server as fast as it can, regardless of the client. If you have clients 
fetching large files, ATS can easily have more traffic from the origin servers 
than to the clients as it fills its internal buffers. This could, in theory, 
also cause a difference over the long term because if a client aborts a 
connection then you could see traffic for the full object on the input side but 
not on the output side.
