Well, the first time I read your post (the one this responded to, I got the (mistaken, I think) impression that you thought I had the in and out directions backwards, so I was trying to clarify. If I'm not mistaken again, I believe we both agree that: Downloads from Earthlink: WAN in / LAN out Uploads to Earthlink: WAN out / LAN in > > - "Downloading" (WAN_IN / LAN_OUT) == 10 bytes > - "Uploading" (LAN_IN / WAN_OUT) == 100 bytes Yes we definitely agree. By talking about the 10 to 1 ratio, I was trying to confirm that I had the directions correct, in other words, using your example, my situation is: - "Downloading" (WAN_IN / LAN_OUT) == 100 bytes - "Uploading" (LAN_IN / WAN_OUT) == 10 bytes > If you (or anyone in the house) play games, then the traffic (at least > for the game) will be about equal. My son does play one online game, "Words with Friends" on a tablet--but, it is nothing like a--hmm, what do they call them--3rd person shooter(??)--it is text oriented--sort of like scrabble--he enters a word every once in a while (in addition to whatever overhead is involved in soliciting an opponent online for a game). > > Oh, and I have the statistics for both the IN and OUT on both the WAN > > VC side and the Ethernet side, and, as I think I mentioned, if someone > > wants to look at my spreadsheet, I can send it--I'm not sure how big > > it is (I have to edit out some irrelevant other pages) so I probably > > don't want to attach it to an email to the entire list. > > If you want to send it you can - just use the email address in my > headers. Thanks, I will send it to you, by attaching it to another copy of this response sent to your address, only... Note that the counters on the Westell apparently rollover at 2^32, so the formulas in my spreadsheet have to take that into account. Some times I have to manually adjust (once so far, and I did it by a slight one-time revision to the formula in the given cell).
