Hello all,
I'm using Apache 2.4.24 on Debian 9 Stable, behind a DSL connection,
with an estimated upload capacity of ~130kB/s.
I'm trying to limit the bandwidth available to my users (per-connection
limit is fine).
However, it seems to me that the rate-limit parameter is coarsely
grained :
- if I set it to 8, users are limited to 8 kB/s
- if I set it to 20, or 30, users are limited to 40 kB/s
- if I set it to 50, 60 or 80, users are limited to my BW, so ~120 kB/s
(tests were done by changing the parameter, restarting apache, then
downloading a file using Firefox. Observed speed is the one given by
Firefox).
I found at least one person with a similar problem :
https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/101988/strange-behaviour-with-apache-mod-ratelimit
It seems to me that rate-limit is working by steps, rather than using
the inputed value. Is it expected ? Could something else on my network
stack be the culprit ?
Thanks for reading !
