I made a few changes to the rule. I use http instead of scp and I assign a
weigh of 90 to http and 15 to ftp.
I have two http sessions and two ftp sessions running at the same time
downloading a 100MB file size. I started two http sessions first. I started
two FTP sessions immediately after that. I am getting about 1.5MB/sec
for each http download sessions while I am getting about 1.7MB/sec
for one FTP session and 1.2MB/sec for the other ftp session.
Obviously, the load is not not equally distributed. I have weigh 90
to http and 15 to ftp but somehow ftp is getting just as much traffics
as http. Why?
Some things to considere:
The timing within FloodGate is based on a non realtime OS. So at least
some accuracy is lost there.
Then it is my understanding that traffic shaping is done only by holding
on to the packets. Where specialised devices do a lot more tricks to work
their magic.
As we also do PacketShapers and in my view FloodGate lacks a lot of the
steering and accuracy to control sessions that other dedicated solutions
have. Unless the user really, really, really wants it we don't sell it.
It might work better if you test it with more real life like numbers like
a few dozen sessions for each.
