It's not a Skype (for business) problem (the BQM in the first post shows that), it's just how it is handling the issue that is...confusing. Or at least helping me narrow the problem down.

I'm assuming that Skype broadcasts audio/video with unicast or multicast, which is the only thing that makes sense here. Upstream power levels jump during a disconnect, so traditional stuff just wont work because tcp is expecting 2 way communication, but Skype just merrily sends data to me until told to stop or it fails a few timeouts.

It's fun! Even more fun is going to be getting VM to fix it, as it's so intermittent.
