| Re: Proof Bell throttles everything but known ports/protocols KiB = 1024*1024 = 1048576 bytes
MiB = 1024*1024*1024 = 1073741824 bytes
I didn't use KB or MB because some people use them to refer to 1000*1000 and 1000*1000*1000 bytes. KiB/MiB are quite explicit about using 1024 instead of 1000.
And for those complaining that my post was too technical, here's the dumbed down version:
Before 4:30, random data on port 9999 downloads at max speed. After 4:30, it only downloads at about 60KiB/s, while the same data on port 8080 and an HTTP download on port 9999 still download at max speed. Late in the evening, random data on port 9999 drops down to about 30KiB/s. |
