Hello, I am rate limiting traffic going to some IP addresses using CBQ (and want to change to HTB sometime). While testing with different packet sizes I found out that I could go above the rate limit I set. (even with HTB) The values I use are: rate: 768kbit weight 77kbit allot 10000 avpkt 1512 I did not change the cell or other parameters. My root qdisc is set to 40MBit. With those values I am able to go up to 840kbit/s with packets sizes of 612 or 1224. With other values it's less except for very low values. Changing the allot value (If I understood well allot*weight=max packets per round) it only gets worst (tested with 1000 and 50000). AVPKT is only used for maxidle so it should not change anything ? What values should I tweak to have the max rate never exeeded and still be able to come very near my max-rate using 1460 bytes packets ? Would HTB be more accruate ?
