Re: Comcast disconnects for using P2P
said by peerimpact  :Plug straight into the cable modem and see if your connection drops . Many routers choke on too many connections being open . He is right. I can only open so many connections on my router. If i open up too many, it will eventually freeze up my connection.

When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all. |

Frankly, I believe you are FOS, blaming Comcast for your own inadequacies in setting up your P2P service.

| said by Quaoar :How do you open " too many connections on your router "? SOHO routers are basically just NAT boxes. In order to provide the translation it needs to create a table entry for every connection (so it knows which conversation goes to which PC on the inside). If that table fills up, or you try to open too many connections too quickly all bets are off on how the router will deal with it.

| I've been using Comcast and P2P for over 3 years and have never had any disconnects due to them.
Yes, I've overloaded many SOHO routers with too much traffic; but I solved that problem by building linux gateway boxes and by purchasing (and implementing) enterprise cisco routers and switches.
[alright, the switches are not exacly today's models, but I did not shell out thousands of $ for them either  ] |

Q Simple, the mass amount of traffic that bittorent uses uses up either the routers cpu or memory... Causes it to lag out or reset, it can be avoided by lowering the max number of connections/storms in bittorent. |

Windows xp sp2 introduced a 10 half open connections limit. This can some times be the issue especially if the client is set up wrong.
It can be can sometimes be related to how many people are on the torrent, and if its using the public dht network, they can flood you off the swarm if you have weak equipment.
