Meanwhile I'm not so sure whether the problem is caused by htb. I used the same htb script and made some tests using iperf. I sent data over 4 parallel connections (2 tcp, 2 udp), so that my upstream is full. This time pppoe did not die. The times before when pppoe died there was always a h323 connection involved - at least I think so. So maybe the problem is caused by the h323 patch I'm using. >>Do think it would make sense to reduce the transmit queue on ppp0 >>from 200 to ... let's say 50 or 20? > > probably not.

So my ifconfig $SOME_IF txqueuelen $SOME_QLEN lines in the script can be thrown away. Thank you for your tips. I'll analyze the situation in more detail and report the results. I'm currently a bit short of time but I should be able to find it out over the next few days. Thomas
