Perhaps, but it doesn't follow that they suffer a great deal of asymmetry. > ...and no direct connection to an ultra-high-speed academic network. Of course not, and probably no bleeding-edge switches with packet buffering, NICs with interrupt coalescing, or experimental routers, either. As far as I know round trip symmetry is not a design goal for any part of the Net. On the other hand, "deep packet inspection" _could_ introduce asymmetry. Seems to me that the dumber the network between me and the server the more likely I am to see symmetric latentcy. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
