So I was going to upload a couple of very large wireshark dumps, but then I
looked at something again and realized I was reading one of steam's poorly
documented performance metrics wrong. It appears that more often than not
now, my problem is actually host or client side on the cpu/encoding, so my
network setup is good. I think their may have also been some client side
network driver issues. It also seems that even slight alternate network
usage can affect the stream (such as leaving a web browser open) all though
this seems strange, I can't imagine how that could be impacted one way or
another by the router. So thanks for the help. Looking forward to more
improvements on your end.
