[Bloat] The Dark Problem with AQM in the Internet?

[Jonathan Morton]

If it is genuinely a single packet, then I have an alternate theory.

I note from http://www.dslreports.com/faq/14520 that PowerBoost works on
the first 20MB of a download.  At 100Mbps or so, that's about 2 seconds.
So that's quite convincing evidence that your packet loss is happening at
the moment PowerBoost switches off.

It might be that the switching process takes long enough to drop one
packet. Or it might be that Comcast deliberately drop one packet in order
to signal the change in bandwidth to the sender. Clever, if mildly
distasteful.
