When you stream a video from a server, you make a limited and contained number
of connections to that server.
A Bittorrent client tends to generate a connection to every peer it can find,
and generates periodic broadcast traffic. Those are lots of intermitent
connections that come and go. A stream from Netflix that uses all of your
bandwidth uses less new connections than a torrent download that uses all your
bandwidth. Every connection has to go into the packet filter before the routingg
ear can place it on fastrack (if using paket filters) and then certain QoS
disciplines tend to starve when required to work with multiple simultaneous
connections.
My home uplink is quite limited and the difference shows. Youtubing max speed
generates less impact on the rest of the LAN users than torrenting. None of
them maks the network unusable for the other users, but you do notice when
somebody is trying to torrent anything.
