search for: 6mbits

Hello, I''m having some problems using HTB to prioritize traffic on my linux router. The main problem is as follows: I have a 6Mbits channel on the metropolitan network and a 64kbps link for the sites outside my country. These 64kbps are dynamically allocated by my ISP so I usually get something like 128kbps , sometimes 512kbps and even 1 Mbit; it varies all the time. Because of this I don''t know how to automatical...

...ng different protocols, such as ssh or http), the upload starts at 20MBits, but over time quickly slows down to about 3MBits. Speedtests claim I am getting about 20/20. I seem to be about to get 3Mbits *per transfer*, even if the transfers are concurrent and MRTG shows total throughput edging up to 6Mbits. What can possibly be going on.

About the only thing left is maybe some sort of weirdness with Iptables imposing some sort of I/O overhead, maybe related to the MASQUERADE postrouting. Does this even make sense? -- Robert Helle...
