Still worth a look.

Keeping in mind that a session should be two-way, what we saw in
our case was an imbalance, wherein the session fired up, but
then the distant end began to slow down and finally time-out.

Grant - in our case, we were looking at *incoming* traffic,
where the balance of packets was expected to be heaviest inbound.

His situation is, of course, the reverse.
