If all you want to do is ensure that downloads don't suffer when the uplink is congested, then you could try prioritising ACK packets within the uplink, instead of rate limiting the whole link. I've only ever done this using a high-priority HTB class, but if you don't want to shape any other type of traffic then a PRIO qdisc might work for you (filter the ACK packets into the high-priority class and all other packets into a lower priority one). > So, is there a way to tune HTB to be uncompromisingly precise with no > bursts above set value of 75kbps? If yes, how would I do it? Have you tried playing with the burst/cburst values? http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/manual/userg.htm#burst Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe lartc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
