Since I am the ISP ;) None the less, you will drop some
packets in the
download, but... As best as I know, when you don't ACK the packets to
the sending machine, it'll slow down the transport until the ACKs keep
up...
Hey.. Since you're the ISP.. May I ask you a question?
Say I'm with ISP X, and I'm subscribed to their 384/128k package.
They say it's best effort. I want to know, how do they Cap the connection
to the said 384k.
What sort of trafficshaping etc do they do? TCP Window shaping?
Packet dropping?? ACKs??
