Ah yes I missed that bit. Indeed in that case I would say you should probably see *some* increase in latency - but +250 ms seems too high. Again, try watching the Queue display while making a call/upload - maybe your queues are not set right. Another thing to try is to set the upstream pipe to be a lot smaller than the actual availability on your line. So if you have 512 kbit upstream, set it to 256 kbit. It has to be set to something less than what you actually have available - maybe 5% less. If you are one a shared bandwith circuit (like cable or most wireless ISPs) you can either set it at the worst case ever observed, or at something you feel is a reasonable tradeoff. With shared bandwith the shaper can only do so much. Also, make sure your DOWNSTREAM pipe size is set *higher* than your connection. You really can't do much to shape the downstream connection, so you want the limits to be high so as to essentially do nothing. Things really go haywire latency-wise when you try enforcing limits on the downstream channel. Regards, -Jeppe
