Data transfer over internet



While waiting foe Software Updates to download, I used Activity Monitor
to calculate downloading.
With iPod update-

Total Update-41.8 MB
Average Downloading-36.4 KB/second

Using Activity Monitor-

Averaged over 5 seconds-
IN 38 to 39 packets/second
54 to 55 KB/sec
OUT about 20 packets per second
1,28 to 1.29 KB/sec

Averaged over 1/2 seconf-
Interesting pattern with small gaps every 6 packets ?

As this is a DUPLEX transfer, data is 100% accurate- has to be.
This would be from a local mirror using broabband telephone connection
to a local exchange some 1 kilometer away.

Later, I will log a QT download from APPLE to compare a SIMPLEX
transfer.

I remember a story I heard many years ago when doing R&D-

At a monistary, a group of monks were trying to find out how many teeth
a donkey had. After much deliberation, no consensus was reached.
Suddenly, a new monk suggested that they go out and COUNT the number of
teeth in a REAL donkey. He was IMMEDIATELY expelled !

Seems somewhat familiar happens in GROUPS ?
