Hmmm - interested to see your evidence to support UDP "prioritisation"….. aside from relative effect of comparing it with protocol shaping on p2p/file sharing that is…..

….and remember like any "test" it still relies on efficacy of VM's peering/transit link choices…..

You might want to experiment with VW's Maidenhead and Dallas servers just to see for yourself perhaps? Here's suitable XXL capacity test links:
Maidenhead >http://mcs.lushsoft.com/myspeed/mycapacity_50mb.html

Dallas > http://mcssjc.visualware.com/myspeed...city_50mb.html

See if you discover any correlation with Dallas & London? ….but then perhaps find that Maidenhead is a little tardy…… or not?

…anyway - have fun!……

Interesting upstream stats - just out of academic curiosity I don't suppose you're serviced via a Motorola BSR 64k CMTS are you?
