Google Cloud and IX - Traffic behavior

Wed Jun 21 15:51:32 UTC 2017

     Thanks Tom,

     Yeah my test points VM's where all FreeBSD 10.3/11.0, so I decided 
to randomize some of them and added a CentOS on my Telia peer (10Gbps), 
and start getting normal performance from GCLD ( In the 500Mbps/500Mbps 
range )

     PS: Even weirderer(tm) The *BSD VMs always performed correctly in 
the past, but not for this particular case.

     I have some work left to normalizing those peers, the same tactic 
didn't work on the other ones.

     if anyone have some lead on a TCP stream analyzer that would cut 
down on the number of naps I need to take looking for clues in wireshark 
captures.
