Can you explain more why 140 times faster is desirable here? Why 140 times and not, say, 10 times faster? Where does this figure come from, and what is the reasoning? Is there a switch that requires it? Also, spelling "traffic". -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
