Thanks Andrew and Andy, after I read your suggestions I made some changes to my setup. Specifically, I changed to rate settings on the root of the class tree to take traffic overhead into account. I also lowered the rate in the 1:11 node to make sure that traffic is shaped by my machine and not by the router. Well, as it turned out this lead to much improved performance. So, thanks again :-). > In fact when I shaped for slow wan on eth I didn't bother including lan > traffic - if your lan is not maxed a lot then I would just use default 0 > (or not specify default) and only classify wan traffic to htb so lan/arp > isn't shaped at all. > Just out of curiosity, how is traffic handled that isn't assigned to any class in the qdisc tree when you do not specify a default class? My assumptions was that such pakets are simply be dropped, which is why I also shaped lan traffic. -- 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
