Hello again, I am having a hard time splitting the bandwidth among my
friends in my LAN. I use HTB and iptables. As far as I see HTB works great when
it comes to limiting the bandwidth (ceil parameter), but when it comes to splitting the bandwidth as equal as
possible (through the rate parameter)… it is rather useless. For instance I have a 128kbps Internet connection. I give
the same rate to all my 10 “clients” (somewhere around 12kbps each). If 2 of my clients are downloading from the internet one
file each, the splitting works… and one client gets 64kbps and the other
64kbps. If one of those 2 clients are downloading by means of a
Download Manager (like FlashGet or Download Accelerator) every gets messed up. The one downloading with multiple connections gets 90-95% of
the bandwidth and the other client gets almost nothing… And of course, most of the time a client will have multiple
connections to the Internet, not only one… Can you tell me if I am the only person using HTB that
encountered this problem? Do you have an idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance, Vlad Mihai |
