Thing is if your connection is completely full one way, it'll effect traffic the other way too. It should not be happening with syncronyous connections, but practical observation is that it does! I suspect router hardware is to blame (possibly packet cache is way full) and I'v seen it happen only if you try to send 100% more traffic then link can handle (just 100% traffic does not efect it - have to really push it), this happened on 100Mb and even on Gb interface.Or could it be that your ACK packets just simply get delayed enough for the traffic
to the other direction to suffer somewhat?This is quite common phenomenan in asymmetric links but also exists for symmetric
ones. Pete

Fix your reverse path.Customers of Cogent should be/are more concerned about congestion on the inbounds at Level3 <-> Cogent; outbound is way too easy to control.Cogent has a pile of available inbound - websites tend to send traffic out, not take traffic in.
