Re: Problem to priorize SSH traffic

[Ludovic Leroy <ludleroy59@xxxxxxx>]

Alan,

You are right. This solution gives immediate relief.
I cannot believe tuning the overheads has such an impact on upload 
rates. That is the way it is...
But you can see in the attached picture that the upload bandwidth drops 
down to 700kbit from 800kbit.
Do you have an idea how to return to the sync speed?
Thank you once again.

Ludovic
