Weird Networking(?) problem....

[Ed Greshko]

I've run into what I find to be a weird problem which may be network stack
related...or something else.

Running a fully updated F16/KDE system and the latest flash plugin installed.

I watch MLBtv which uses flash but seems to do only streaming as it doesn't produce
any temp files that I can see.   Well, after some time, very unpredictable, the video
starts to stutter the pauses can last for milliseconds or a second or two.  It would
seem to be network congestion.....

However, run a network speed test with a server external to the network and
everything seems OK.  Also, I don't have any issues on another machine that is
viewing streaming content.

I logout and login and the problem persists.

However, if I reboot the problem is gone....until the next time.

Very confused as to what may be causing the problem that a logout/login won't correct
that a reboot does.  I've got 8G of RAM and there is no swapping going on.

Any suggestions as to what to try to correct the issue without rebooting?
