<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">Hi Nick .. I agree with Kevin and Graham, you are probably exhausting the buffers/memory in the ADSL router/switch. If the firmware for the Billion has QoS I would look at enabling it. Set the ADSL link bandwidth to be a fraction (5-10%) lower than your link speed. Usually low priority buffers are discarded in favour of high priority packets, which has the tendency to cause TCP to back off, and slowdown. This is similar to the mechanism that wondershaper uses (although not as accurate). Set high priority to your local LAN traffic.</div>

As far as recommendations for a Linux router go, I've had a lot of success with the MikroTik gear - and its relatively cheap. That is provided you're not gonna make your own, and are after a home router style device. Just a recommendation anyway :)<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>+1. I'm running a Mikrotik 450G, and after a few hours of initial futzing to get OpenWRT built and flashed it's been remarkably reliable. Haven't had any reliability issues in 12 months, except for the time I locked myself out of SSH after messing up a firewall rule.<br>
