I was thinking that the difference in upstream speeds between my various lines is going to cause jitter. But now I think there is no direct end user to end user traffic: isn’t it all indirect? ie goes from source end user into the Zoom server, server creates a new stream of data, and that goes to the destination end user. Is that correct? I’m thinking it has to be like that when for example someone sees tiled pictures of all the participants. Also maybe has to be like that because of firewalls. Unless the Zoom clients know how to do firewall busting? So anyway, the server would see my jitter, not the remote end user, if this idea is right. Is that correct?
See speed difference between my lines below. Note: Line #2 has been taken down because of a current fault and line #4 is similarly faulty too just now. Couldn’t book engineers because Janet has been away in hospital so no one to let them in.
Modems:: Live sync rates:
#1: downstream 2.676 Mbps, upstream 653 kbps
#2: ?, ? (either modem #2 is down, or is coming up, or link #2 is down)
#4: downstream 1.418 Mbps, upstream 389 kbps

* Estimated combined IP PDU rate totals (*):
downstream: 3.621 Mbps
upstream: 921.58 kbps

(*) Calculated from: IP_PDU_rate = sync_rate × fudge_factor;
fudge_factor = protocol_efficiency ( 0.884434 )
× modem_load_factor ( assumed = 1.0 ).
Assuming: ADSL and ATM, assumed PDU size = 1500,
DSL overhead bytes = 32 ⧴ protocol_efficiency
