I am using the script below to simulate a very low bandwidth connection.
I found that I could turn the bandwidth knob down to about 4kbit, but
below that I didn't get any traffic through. I've had a look at this
generally, but couldn't find an answer. It doesn't even seem like the
first reply packet gets through. I have tried it with much bigger
buffers, but this doesn't help.
I found that if I put a web proxy on the machine that is running this,
then the minimum I can turn the bandwidth down to is 12kbit and below
that the web browser doesn't get anything back.
Is this because the delay is so great that things are getting thrown
away by the kernel? Could I munge the packets to turn up the TTL or
something similar?
Many thanks for some excellent tools.

I don't really get using tbf under htb - but it may be OK.
The reason it fails <12kbit is because you use it for burst - which is a
buffer length so <12kbit won't pass a 1500 byte packet.
