[Cake] WAN ingress rate with concurrent downloads

[G. Amanakis]

Hi All,

I noticed that the ingress rate on the WAN interface as reported by bmon or bwm-ng does not reflect the setting in cake (on ifb ingress or on LAN egress) when one of the hosts is using bittorrent or when there are more than 3 concurrent downloads on a 3300kbit/s bandwidth (router behind cable modem). With 1-2 concurrent downloads (i.e. connections) the ingress rate reported on WAN matches the limit set in cake. The same thing happens with HTB, TBF, or the police action. Any ideas why?

Greetings,
George
