 novaflareThe Dragon Was HerePremium join:2002-01-24 Barberton, OH | Trafic shaping is fine if its complex enough What i mean is this from messing with it on my own lan i found not only does it not hurt your surfing but can dramiticaly improve it. Example a flash or java heavy site require more than a pure html one. So if you limit the potential bandwidth for html to say a mear 15KB and give flash heavy etc sites 60KB (based on a 15KB html site vs a 60KB flash site) they will both load in one secound +overhead of reading the file type. Not much of a effect unless you have 3 or 4 people on the lan browseing. If the file in question is say somefile.somevideoextension then it should get a higher max speed than a measly 15KB web page. ISPs tend to go with the simplest way of doing things like trafic shaping or will do it backwards out right harming your experiance.
Fact is if isps limite web page download speeds so that it took exactly 1 secound to download a page fro a server where such a thing was possible they would lower their costs to a much greater extent. -- DSLR security chat at us.ausirc.net chanel #dslr_sec lets pack this channelopen source dns server for *nix and windows »powerdns.com |
