      Regardless of limiter specification, any IPV6 rule that applies upstream and downstream traffic limits will result in EXTREMELY slow IPV6 rate.

        Hi jcyr

        I have the same problem with IPv6 regardless if it is a floating or a normal rule.

        How much bandwith for UP/Down you get ?

        I can reach a maximum of 300 kbit/s down and around 40 kbit/s for up.

        regards

          I can't answer that, since I don't recall the exact numbers. I've moved away for limiter and now use HFSC queues to manage bandwidth. Too a while to figure out and tune the settings, but ended up with good results for both IPV4 and IPV6.

            Does this issue still exist?

            If you don't use limiter due to the IPV6 issue, how do you ensure fair bandwidth use by users when only using HFSC traffic shaper?
