Part of the issue here is that you can't control how inbound (to you)
packets queue up from your ISP router to you - you can only control
traffic after it hits your ARN.
Giving FTP lower prioity may help. Also, for the protocol priority
interface setup, I set the queue distibution in a REALLY steep curve -
95% to the high queue, 4% to the med queue and 1% to the low queue.
Also, enable the "dequeue at line rate". That seems to minimze network
jitter in my experience.
