I'm doing all my tests under ideal conditions (over 100mbit lan and shaping the traffic to something low such as 384kbit). The problem is that the latency becomes unnatural. If you have a normal line, e.g. 64kbit and you saturate the line, the latency still stays within limits, but with HTB, the latency can become very high if you have multiple concurrent tcp sessions going at full steam in a class. I can understand why it does this, but I need a way to get the latency down to acceptable limits. -- Regards Abraham I never killed a man that didn't deserve it. -- Mickey Cohen ___________________________________________________ Abraham vd Merwe [ZR1BBQ] - Frogfoot Networks P.O.
