Our experience is that _many_ consumer routers are buggy in exactly this way. The fact that a torrent will try to open many connections doesn't mean that most of them work - it recovers so well from failed connections that one would normally not notice. I suspect that the fact that SL is also sending lots of very bursty UDP traffic also aggravates the problem, since that traffic (and TCP connection setup/teardown) is not congestion controlled. > > The true limit is server side. All the more reason for viewers not to hog connection resources. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
