Can you also track packet loss rates / packet loss probability? And also throughput/progress of the Windows update connections? If the reason actually is that FastTCP does not respond to congestion in a fair manner (as Ryan Mounce suggested) than you should see high packet loss (for all connections), high throughput for the Windows update connections and very low throughput for regular TCP connections. Also, it would be interesting to see what happens to fixed bit rate UDP streams. Best, Mario Am 22.12.2017 um 03:01 schrieb Rich Brown: > I'm using LEDE 17.01.4 on my Archer C7v2.
