Yes, you did imply that it was a step-change, although Hoikas' observation might still have validity - there could be some "tipping point" that get's reached once traffic volume reaches a certain level that forces a change in route, and since the routes to different servers may have little in common then you may not see the same effect happen on Ghen or elsewhere.

You can't really force a route - part of the principle of the internet is that is determines what seems likely to be the best route to use. And no the Wireshark guide didn't get updated, but I found that the current version of Wireshark doesn't seem to allow you to limit the amount of data grabbed with each packet
