I was hoping to get before and after graphs to verify any changes, but I finally just did it. Lucky for me, my ADSL line died tonight, so when it came back up I was able to see my ping on a completely idle link. Using HTB with HTB_HYSTERESIS set to 0 appears to have greatly reduced my ping time. It still skips up more often than when the link is completely idle, but it appears to be (without any graphs to verify) a marked improvement. (Now I see more 75ms and an occasional 145ms instead of the complete reverse.) 68/70/75 out of 20 ICMP packets when idle. 68.3/91.6/215.7 ms out of 323 ICMP packets at 85% utilization. >From the comments in sch_htb.c I take it I just traded speed for accuracy in some of HTB's calculations, which on such a slow link is probably not an issue? <snip> > Andy.
