All: The issue of asymmetric data flows is one of the reasons why we are building an optical Internet here in Canada. With an optical Internet you can traffic engineer individual wavelengths to support Tx/Rx asymmetric data flows in any way you want. This makes much more efficient use of the underlying fiber indrastructure.
