The ping I pasted was with zero other traffic other than an ssh session. However, during times of high traffic (~8Mbps), the RTTs increase, showing stress. Not sure if that's typical on other connections, but I don't see it on two other servers that I have running. NAPI is turned off. Thanks again.
