Hi,

I've been having a really strange thing happen. I can't remember when it 
happened, or if it coincided with a shorewall update, but if I have shorewall 
"running", my 100mbps connection is limited to about 1-6mbps per connection. 
This is with TC/Shaping/QoS disabled or enabled.

I have no idea if its shorewall doing something funky or ipables or what, but 
if I stop shorewall, I can download from a vps I have at upwards of 10MB/s or 
more. With shorewall started, I get 300KBps max.

That said, it seems to be a per connection limit. I can get multi MB/s speeds 
when downloading a debian iso over bittorrent for instance.

I've tried disabling a bunch of my rules to see if that would help, and it 
hasn't.

I've tested transfering to and from the firewall locally, and those 
connections are fine, and can saturate my GbE network, with or without 
shorewall running. I've also tested transfering from the firewall itself and 
from machines behind the firewall, both ways exhibit the same problem.

My firewall is a Soekris 6501-50 running debian sid, on a 100mbps/5mbps cable 
internet connection.

I'd appreciate any insight anyone might have.
