On my network when I copy data from one computer to another slowly, it
seems to slow down other connections, anyone know why this might be? The
details are:
Computer A is connected to switch 1
Computer B is connected to switch 1 via a powerline connection.
switch 1 is connected to switch 2
Device C is connected to switch 2
Everything is 100Mb/s apart from the powerline. The problem is that when
I copy from A to B (at about 1.7 MB/s over the powerline) the connection
from A to C slows to a crawl. This doesn't make sense to me as I thought
the ethernet should be able to run at about 8 MB/s. Can anyone shed any
light on this?
