LARTC - Dec 2001 - HTB Message Storm HTB Delay <large number> > 5 secs

Hello I''ve set up a simple system. It seems to work for a short while,
but now I''ve got batches of  100''s of these messages.

Also I can''t connect through that box any more. It''s as if
forwarding
died.


Has anyone any advice?

Regards

John

Yes of course ;) I have posted small patch to HTB
mailing list (qos-request@lists.cdi.cz) to solve it.
