[LARTC] Multiple connections

Hello again,

 

I am having a hard time splitting the bandwidth among my friends in my LAN.

I use HTB and iptables. As far as I see HTB works great when it comes to
limiting the bandwidth (ceil parameter),

but when it comes to splitting the bandwidth as equal as possible (through
the rate parameter). it is rather useless.

 

For instance I have a 128kbps Internet connection. I give the same rate to
all my 10 "clients" (somewhere around 12kbps each).

 

If 2 of my clients are downloading from the internet one file each, the
splitting works. and one client gets 64kbps and the other 64kbps.

If one of those 2 clients are downloading by means of a Download Manager
(like FlashGet or Download Accelerator) every gets messed up.

The one downloading with multiple connections gets 90-95% of the bandwidth
and the other client gets almost nothing.

 

And of course, most of the time a client will have multiple connections to
the Internet, not only one.

 

Can you tell me if I am the only person using HTB that encountered this
problem? Do you have an idea how to fix this? 

 

Thanks in advance,

Vlad Mihai
