Hi,

I tried transferring large files using the tox protocol and got very mixed results. in 90% of the cases the transmission rate was a few dozen kb/s and only in 10% is was as fast as expected. The connection was in all cases a direct P2P connection with UDP (with NAT on one end). No Matter if IPv4 or 6. I used qtox and tuntox.

I was not able to recognize any pattern in this behavior. Is it a known phenomenon? Is it some kind of limitation of tox?
