The packes still travel across the network, so if you measure traffic on another host you won't measure immediate shaping. However, the TCP stack adapts transmission rates to acknowledgement rate, so you'll see reduction after a while. Also, you give too little information to diagnose the problem. Please write me offlist with more details of your setup. /alessandro PS: it's unfair to send separate messages to the maintainer and a mailing list (and possibly several other lists). If I weren't subscribed I couldn't know you sent it and couldn't reply. Please use Cc: instead. Besides, rshaper is offtopic for this list. PS2, to lartc-admin: please allow posts from non subscribers, otherwise replies to crossposts (person+lists) won't get through if person is not subscribed.
