Hmm that is alot more complicated than i thought! I redid the shaper wizard again and its working much much better. Im not sure how to add some of these rules manually, so i checked the box for the p2p catch all, and then selected all of the individual p2p services. Now skype shows up again in the p2p que! must be associating it with one of the rules… now if i could just figure out which one its using!
As far as bandwith:
p2p up - i assigned 256Kb realtime, 60% bandwidth
p2p down - 256Kb realtime, 25% bandwidth
ack up - 25% (standard)
ack down - 25% (standard)
queOthersUpH - 10%
queOthersDownH - 40%
queOthersUpL - 1% min
queOthersDownL - 1% min
Its working MUCH much better now. I am able to skype with my wife and watch others surf the net!!! After reading that last post, i cant claim that i know exactly why it works like it does. I am still trying to learn though. My question is this though - what is the difference between queOthersH and L? most of the http traffic seemed to go through H, so that is why i traffic shaped it the way i did. But sometimes the traffic will go through queOthersL - whats the difference?
Thanks again for all your help and time. I dont take it for granted. ; :D
