This has been bugging em for sometime now and i've never really bothered to investigate it till today.
I really want to see which route the signal takes as i wonder it could be taking the long way could decrease my transfer rate.
I've currently go a my main PC, Server & Xbox all connected to a switch. This switch is in turn connected to my modem/router via one cable. At the router i have my another two pc's connected.
Now say my main pc wants to talk to the server i assume the switch has the brains to instead of sending all the way to the router and back it just goes through the switch and directly to the server.
I ask this as how i see it if it's going to the router it's having to share the bandwith as it travels there and back decreasing the transfer times.
