I DL'ed wondershaper. Set it up for DL=350 (384), UL=96 (128) on eth1 (dsl). Values in parentheses are adsl true bandwidth.
Pinged www.forthnet.gr (my provider)...

NOTE that wshaper.htb gives me the exact same results...
Why is dropped and overlimits ALWAYS 0?

Alex,
From my experience the main problem is believe it or not your download
speed as well, the ISP creates huge buffers of data being sent to you.
If you want low latency you will have to disable the ISP downlink buffer
or at least reduce it, normally from my experience a 1.5Mbit line needs
to be reduced by half at least. Once you have done this you will have
much lower latency.
If you are wondering why this happens it is because while your uplink
is not saturated any more, believe it or not a saturated downlink will
cause the same effect. The problem is while you have control over your
uplink buffer, you can not control what the ISP sends you. The only true
method is use of TCP window manipulation or use of the MRQ module which
does the same as HTB, tries to define priorities on accepting packets
and droping others so the ISP will "understand" you are not able to
accept and reduct the TCP window size.
To make a long story short, you will not be able to obtain a fast
download stream AND hope to obtain minimum latency for gaming unless you
use tc to cut your bandwidth by half or more and at the same time it
will help to place the MRQ module.
Another important thing, using all the HTB/MRQ modules can create packet
buffer problems with pptp which already has its own buffering, if you
see errors in your /var/log/messages or dmesg coming from pptp then make
sure to disable the buffer (pptp --nobuffer)
Cheers,
