Hi,
there is no bug, the 'pipe profile' code is working correctly.
In your mail below you are comparing two different things.
"pipe config bw 10Mbit/s delay 25ms"
means that _after shaping_ at 10Mbps, all traffic will
be subject to an additional delay of 25ms.
Each packet (1470 bytes) will take Length/Bandwidth sec
to come out or 1470*8/10M = 1.176ms , but you won't
see them until you wait another 25ms (7500km at the speed
of light).
"pipe config bw 10Mbit/s profile "test" ..."
means that in addition to the Length/Bandwidth,
_each packet transmission_ will consume
some additional air-time as specified in the profile
(25ms in your case)
So, in your case with 1470bytes/pkt each transmission
will take len/bw (1.176ms) + 25ms (extra air time) = 26.76ms
That is 25 times more than the previous case and explains
the reduced bandwidth you see.
The 'delay profile' is effectively extra air time used for each
transmission. The name is probably confusing, i should have called
it 'extra-time' or 'overhead' and not 'delay'
cheers
