<p dir="ltr">What I'm seeing on your first tests is that double egress gives you slightly more download at the expense of slightly less upload throughout. The aggregate is higher.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Your second set of tests tells me almost nothing, because it exercises the upload more and the download less. Hence why I'm asking for effectively the opposite test. The aggregate is still significantly higher with double egress, though.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The ping numbers also tell me that there's no significant latency penalty either way. Even when CPU saturated, it's still effectively controlling the latency better than leaving the pipe open.</p>
