Hello guys,
I am experiencing a strange behaviour with HTB. Here is my situation:
Test PC -------- internet ------------- ISP ----- fiber connection ---------
(eht2) RT1 (eth1) --------- wireless connection ------------ (eth4) RT2
(eth0) -------- users
RT1 - Slackware router
RT2 - Slackware router
Delay between Test PC and ISP is approx 450 ms.
I have the following shapers
RT1 ETH2 - dedicated bandwidth for Test PC 40kbps
RT2 ETH4 - dedicated bandwidth for Test PC 30kbps
RT2 ETH4 - dedicated bandwidth for users to upload is 250kbps
The thing is if I use Test PC to download from RT1 it makes straight line of
40kbps. If I use TestPC to download from RT2 the traffic varies from 3kbps
to 30kbps. It is very random. If I start a transfer on RT1 from RT2 I can
see there is much bandwidth available I can use 230kbps.
We simulated the Test PC connecting is straight on eth4 of RT2 with the same
IP address it has on internet in order to not change the shaper and the
transfer was exactly as specified in the shaper - 30kbps
So I am wondering is it possible that because of the delay of the Test PC
the HTB doesn''t work properly and somehow trafic with bigger delay gets
lower priority?
The test PC otherwise downloads from anywhere on internet with about 50kbps.
By the way RT2s CPU is busy between 6-25%. What is the recommended CPU usage
on which the HTB will be working acceptable?
Any hints will be much appreciated,
Regards,
Bisser Milanov
