Patrick,
Do you really need QoS with that much bandwidth?
Anyways, getting back to AstShape. Several things:
1) Are you talking about kilobits or kilobytes?
1) With a connection speed that high (and symmetrical) you can't
possibly be using cable or ADSL. Where is your connection coming from?
You might not need to set your EXTUP and EXTDOWN numbers so low.
3) AstLinux sets up several queues with varying amounts of actual
bandwidth. You can read AstShape and look at the output of "astshape
status" to see how it all works.
