I am a newbie and don't yet fully understand the HTB stuff, but have experimented with others scripts/programs and thought about QOS for latency - which is what I will be aiming for when my home network is eventually finished. With an uplink of 128000 and MTU 1500 then you would expect this behavior as a 1500 byte packet will take >90ms to get up the wire. Reducing MTU should help, also quantum/burst should be small enough to release only one packet - I notice some big quantums in your other mail. I don't know about cable, but with dsl some MTUs are more efficient than others - which are best depends on whether your dsl uses pppoa or pppoe etc. Andy. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
