A recent entry in Skype Journal talked about a device called from Broadband Booster from Hawking Technologies. It seems they coordinate the uplink traffic in such a fashion critical traffic like VoIP does not encounter much delay. From the material available in their website, I am not able to figure out how they manage it. It seems, Andrew Sheppard has done some analysis. For me, this raised more questions rather answering old ones.
According to Sheppard, use of Broadband Booster increases downlink bandwidth to 243 KBps from 227 KBps. I am not sure how this is possible. The values for send and receive packet loss are beyond my interpretation. I tried to get an explanation by posting these questions in Skype Journal. But as it has happened before, my comment didn’t make it. If you understand the report or know how the product works, please share your knowledge.
