Is the inbound rate affected even if there are no outbound transfers? Is the speed actually being "limited" to a certain speed, or are you just noticing that the inbound/upload traffic is slower than it should be. The reason I ask is because you're tagging all outbound ftp-data traffic (ports 50000:51000) and directing it to the class with 39kbps. If you have outbound/download transfers going, they may be using all the available outbound bandwidth for that class and causing outbound ACK packets (for the inbound/upload traffic) to queue and throttle the inbound speed. Please don't flame me if I'm way off base... Assumption: - data connection is bi-directional. ie. the data connection is made on the specified PASV (server) ports (50000:51000) regardless of whether it's an upload or download. Test: - simply kill all downloads and see if the uploads are still affected. - or you can tag oubound ACK packets and filter them into the faster class. chris >>Theory is..
