I am very happy with my service so far but I am having some issues with the ONT. When opening lots of connections for example when downloading a video game from lots of peers or connections with lots of threads, the connection slows down to a crawl and becomes unusable. I suspect I am filling the NAT table on the Adtran just based on past experiences but I'm not sure. After 10 or 15 seconds I get tons of TCP dup ACKs and retransmissions and my internet slows to a crawl to the point I can barely load webpages (see attached tcptrace graphs)
Will I always be limited by the routing capabilities of the ONT or is there a way I can use my own router that is more powerful? The Adtran lacks even basic firewall features as well so I would like to upgrade to something better. Is bridging possible at all? Also are there any specifications or datasheets on the performance of the ONT? I could not find any online but it would be helpful to know so I can set some limits and not overload it.
I opened a support case but they said I should post in the forums in order for the networking team to look in to the issue.
Here is information in order to replicate the test I was doing which causes the problem:
My hardware:
Windows 10
qbittorrent 4.3.5
16GB ram
Intel(R) 82599 NIC
I also tested with my desktop connected directly to the ONT and had the same results.
Because of how fast the connection is, it is hard to use most of the bandwidth without opening lots of simultaneous connections.Will I always be limited by the routing capabilities of the ONT or is there a way I can use my own router that is more powerful?

- Set connection settings in qBittorrent (see attached image)
- Selected to save the torrent on an SSD and started it.
