Via ftp. If I perform the tests using tbf attached to a class then the rate is precise. For example, if I measure rate of 256kbit using sfq and then tbf, sfq is always wrong at (actual_rate/rate_set) 240kbit/256kbit = 0,9375 = 6,25% 1920kbit/2048kbit = 0,9375 = 6,25% I performed several tests at different data rates and the innacuracy of 6,25 percent always remain.
