Yes I love the EQ references. Still my favorite MMO TO DATE pre Lucian.

Only game where a death would make me pretty late for work.

Having all the clients in your diagram is a bit much but it’s your diagram. We have over 1M client end points and just call it user or used to. Things change but love your setup. My home lab has been in use for years. My powered off servers and switches could make another lab for someone. To much power draw for me.

To be honest it’s a lie. It’s likely some buffering on the ISP side that is causing it or it’s just wrong. A 1G interface won’t go above 1G. These are more to make customers or end users feel good. I have a feeling some code is messed up and it’s using 1000 somewhere instead of 1024 and through error stacking you get this. Throwing darts at what it could be but it’s not that high to a single device.
