Thanks for your reply, first of all, I'm using a ADSL line with 192 KBit/sec (24 Kb/sec) upstream and 2048 KBit/sec (256 Kb/sec) downstream (DSL 2000 in Germany).
What I originally wanted to do, was to fairly queue this bandwidth between four users. So each user will have its assurred bandwidth for up and downstream, but can borrow whats left. So I builded a cool configuration using cbq as scheduler. But it resulted in a throttled downstream as described before (instead of ~237 Kb/sec downstream, I got ~29 Kb/sec). So I though it could be something wrong with my understanding of cbq and I tried hfsc with the same result. So I thought of wrong queue allocation and looked at it with pfctl, but the right queues where used. So I started thinking of kernel land, user land problem and switched from the user land ppp to the kernel land pppoe implementation. No effect. So I stripped down my configuration to priq with the minimum number of queues and got the same results. Now, I'm slowly going crazzy. > On 11/9/05, Benjamin Heckmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > [...] unfortunally the values and units are right.

So far, I\'ve never come accross one that deals with less than 64kbps (a few years ago) or 128 kbps. > That might explain why you\'re getting lower throughput than expected. > > Perhaps you can further specify what goals you are trying to achieve and with what means you want to achieve them. > > Also, not scrubbing your pppoe(4) device to use a lower MTU, may give you rather long waiting periodes when browsing for some sites. > Although it deals more with actually getting a connection rather than connection speed, the following line did wonders for me: > > scrub out on $ext_if max-mss 1440 > > Cheers, > > Rogier > > -- > If you don\'t know where you\'re going, any road will get you there. -- Highspeed-Freiheit.
