It's not so easy to tell. Sometimes, people lower the total bandwidth and suddenly the shaping is working. > One more thing, Is there something like isolated(as in cbq) in htb, that > is irrespective of others demand the bandwidth allocated to someone as > isolated does not get affected. Isolated is not working in cbq. And no, there is no such option in htb. > Is there an irc channel for lartc discussions? Yes, #lartc @ irc.oftc.net.
