Re: RT314 intermittent operation
said by sktn77a  :Doesn't look like Ares or Limewire have those options  Basically p2p keep opening connections until something breaks. Usually it is the uplink because most ISPs have asymmetrical up/down bandwidth.
In commercial settings the problem is solved using a traffic shaper like the Packeteer to redirect the offending users to a slower queue.
You could get a router with some kind of QOS capability and limit the uplink speed for everybody. It will have little effect on web browsing but it will limit p2p. |
