[e2e] Short Fat Networks, tcp and Policers

[=?gb2312?q?Jing=20Shen?=]

Hi,

I've got some experience with providing bandwith by L3
traffic shaping. But, in one of those experients
people complaints the degradtion of web site access
speed after upgrading from 10Mbps ethernet channel to
a 20Mbps one. In that experiments  RTT from that site
to primary game site falls in (10ms, 50ms), and  20%
of traffic is UDP. 

We haven't got enough time to look into details of the
problem,  but to my understanding this is due to
packet dropping at policing point and the interaction
between bursty UDP traffic  & TCP flows. 

Is that possible to expose more information on your
results? 

regards
