By iperf.

One little detail, and I guess this is the explaining fact but it's 
interesting to think about why: all the machines reported on here are 
using wireless access.  The two which are working well have no jitter or 
packet loss, but the two that are acting up both have a fair amount of 
jitter, and about 6-8% packet loss because of their being marginal links.

I'm assuming that is the explanation (I hadn't thoroughly tested the 
link quality before sending that other mail) but I wonder why.  They 
show average throughput well above the rate limits I set when they are 
operating without HTB.

Thanks.

B.
