I have not noticed this behaviour with Extreme.
I just now tried a few uploads of a 5M file. It would hit 200KB+ occassionally
atr the start but average rate for all 4 uploads was the same 121.3K(even to
different hosts). That seems strange and sure sound like rate shaping. If I
did concurrent uploads I would get close to the 1Mbps throughput.
I wonder if "Power Boost" applies to uploading? My uploads peaked over 200K
which is certainly higher than 1Mbps.
