Re: How to find TCP slowstart phase begins

[Jeff Morriss <jeff.morriss.ws () gmail com>]

No, the metric is only used in choosing routes (the metric reflects the
cost of the route).

As Jaap says the variation you're seeing is more likely just variation in
system load and other (non-networking) factors.  Getting reproducible test
results can be a challenge - you really need to control what's going on on
the system at all times (for example I've seen overnight performance stress
tests fail when the system went to check for OS updates at 2am: the extra
CPU going to this other task was enough to push the system over the edge
into failure).
