Hi Newbie,
When it comes to traffic shaping I am also a noob. But I have spotted one
potential weakness... Read on.

In order to be able to traffic shape, you HAVE to throttle outgoing traffic.
("Outgoing" meaning "traffic leaving the firewall machine in any direction".)
In
other words: The IN-BANDWITH and OUT-BANDWIDTH settings must be lower than all
other limitations. Otherwise packets will be buffered, leading to latency.
Try setting OUT-BANDWIDTH to, say, 1500 and work your way up from there.
