      I have simple network with traffic shaper. Each of the queues and interfaces has a speed limit.

      It seems that Queues has a math error? The root queue is adding all childs and parent. Instead of just adding parents to get total.

      I have set qinternet for each queue with limits:

      Wan 11mb
      Lan 45mb
      VOIP 5mb

      Once in awhile i see this. All queues maxxed out. I dunno if webpage just slow to refresh. But I do experience high ping times during this.

      Does traffic shaper interface speed settings limit? or do I need to add limiters?

        I've seen this too, where the bandwidth totals seem really off.

        A traffic shaper will try to provide service for your queues.  It will only throttle a connection if it needs bandwidth for higher-priority connections.  If you want to put a hard cap in place, you need a limiter.
