Hello,

I'm using HTB to shape my outgoing traffic over a ADSL-link with PPPoE with a 
nominal bandwidth of 128kbit/s. My goal is to favour small packets like ACKs 
and interactive services like ssh; in other words, I want to achieve low 
lantency.

If there are some big packets going over the wire, everything works fine. But 
if there are many small packets saturating my uplink, I get pings of 1000ms 
and above. To minimize this effect I've set the HTB qdisc rate to 100kbit/s. 
But even now, throttling my uplink to lower than 80% of physical bandwidth, 
pings go up to 800ms in some cases.

Today I've noticed, that two additional parameters have been added recently to 
the HTB-shaper: mpu and overhead. Are this new parameters suitable for 
solving my problem?
Which are smart values for this two settings? I'm shaping the ppp-device 
directly, not the ethernet-device on which the dsl-modem is connected and I'm 
using the kernel pppoe driver (if this is important for you to know).

Thanks 

Stefan
