So a 10Mbps fiber ATM circuit translates, after the cell tax and packet stredding, to 6Mbps on a real link. Is this not slow enough to be a bottleneck?

regards, fletcher

Even if a 10Mbps ATM circuit resulted in as little as a 6Mbps TCP payload, then PPP would give you about 7.2Mbps, since ATM costs you about 12% over PPP, given measured packet size distributions from FIX West. Is this not slow enough to be a bottleneck? --Kent
