Can someone explain > this to me from tcp/ip point of view? ;) I think it's just a matter of how many occasions the ICMP packets have of going out or into your system. All the packets are put in a queue and if the queue it's more full then the packets have to wait more to have your ICMP packet sent or received. You are talking about uploading files, so your ICMP packets have to wait in the queue to be sent, and the time you get it's the time from when you sent the packet to when the packet it's received, as you have 512 of download and 128 of upload it's normal the queue when you are uploading it's more full and the packets have to wait more. It's just my guess. I'm not an expert in this kind of things and I could be wrong. -- Jose Maria Lopez Hernandez Director Tecnico de bgSEC jkerouac@xxxxxxxxx bgSEC Seguridad y Consultoria de Sistemas Informaticos http://www.bgsec.com ESPAÃA The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles. -- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"
