Handwaving a bit... The query and the response seem to be something like 90 bytes (including an Ethernet header). That then is 720 bits. At 3 Mbits/s that would be 0.24 milliseconds of transmit time. It would then be 0.024 milliseconds on the downlink. I suspect that asymmetry is dwarfed by either queueing delays (bufferbloat) when either/both are active and/or the rest of the delays from your system to the server(s). rick jones -- It is not a question of half full or empty - the glass has a leak. The real question is "Can it be patched?" these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
