Has anyone else observed Netflix sessions attempting to come into customer C=
PE devices at well in excess of the customers throttled plan?
I'm not talking error retries on the line. I'm talking like two to three tim=
es in excess of what the customers CPE device can handle.=20
I'm observing massive buffer overruns in some of our switches that appear to=
be directly related to this. And I can't figure out what possible good purp=
ose Netflix would have for attempting to do this.=20
Curious if anyone else has seen it?=
