Once upon a time, Richard B. Gilbert <[email protected]> said: >My bet would be that there is an asymmetry in your ADSL link! If I'm >not mistaken, the "A" in ADSL stands for asymmetric!
The asymmetry in ADSL is in bandwidth, not path or latency. More frequency space is used for downstream (ISP->end user) communication than for upstream, but both travel the same path. There may be asymmetric routing going on (very often the case when you talk to a host across the Internet, especially if either your ISP or the remote host's ISP are multihomed), but it is highly unlikely it is happening between the end user and his own ISP. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
