Hi Charlie, That's because for HTB rate is the guaranteed minimum it will get when requesting bandwidth so the sum of all your rates should not Exceed your root (2mbit) or things will get ugly. You want something like this (ceil) htb rate 52kbit ceil 512kbit This is guaranteeing a minimum 52k and setting a max Bandwidth of 512kbit Regards John _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
