I've had this problem for about a year now, I'm not sure what the cause is exactly but I think it has to do with the minimum burst size that HTB must have, which is something like 1.5kbytes (per class), combined with the restricted timers that linux QoS uses. Anyway, what I ended up doing is using the prio qdisc (which doesn't do rate limiting, only prioritises packets) wrapped inside a TBF qdisc for its rate limiting. See my script below. > One question I'd be wondering, is how to filter the game packets into > the class.

Not very many programs besides games use UDP traffic for its data transfer, so it should work without putting too much unwanted packets into your interactive class. As well, if your using ipp2p or port matching your p2p/ftp traffic, they won't be put into the interactive class. It's quite important to put your packet marking statements (iptables) in the right order also, if you do it in the wrong order all your packets will end up in your interactive class (happened to me in the beginning :) ). My script below should clarify things. Download my script here: http://quebeck.dyndns.org/temp/simple.htb I haven't finished fine tuning it yet, but the basic traffic shaping works.
