Re: Is this a good thing for the net? said by Sean:All bandwidth should be equally distributed. If you are experiencing a slow down, then so should I, and vice versa. Let me ask you, why should your data go faster then mine...? Quite simply: because not all applications are affected by latency in the same way. Latency due to congestion makes real-time applications like RDP, VoIP, or online gaming completely unusable. Injecting latency into a file transfer simply slows it down -- it doesn't break anything, it just takes longer to get your data.
Broken apps are a bigger deal than slow apps. |
