why upload with adsl is faster than 100M ethernet ?

Hi,

the network path is:

         |-(ADSL)--------\
customer/                 --Edge_router---...---Japan
Server  
        \-(100Methernet)-/

So, from edge_router to Japan server the path is
identical.

Yes. But, for ftp  TCP control real end-to-end
transmission speed. 

I attached a monitor computer to our core router along
the path between customer's site and server.
Monitoring computer ping customer's site by targeting
both ends of ADSL line and ethernet line. The
measuring is scheduled 20packet per 20seconds, we also
ping each hop address along the path to server. The
result shows there is no packet loss along from
monitoring computer to customer site, but packet loss
increase at a special hop along the path to server in
japan. 

So, we think the bottleneck is not inside our network.
And, TCP connection between customer's computer and
its server should be affacted by same bottleneck. So,
the uploading speed should be similar (?), but it
shows so much difference!

I disable autonegotiation of ethernet. So, there is no
such situation.

the measurement is taken without firewall in customer
site. And, no packet filtering is enabled inside our
network.

Thanks for all your helps. To me, knowledge should be
shared around world no matter where people live.
Luckly, NANOG/RIPE and some other group open to the
wolrd.
