Re: Bandwidth Throttling?

After more exploration/experimentation, I have figured out why the 
throttle.fw script wasn't being run.

In intialize.fw, there's this line:

[ -x throttle.fw] && throttle.fw

which I changed to:

[ -x /usr/local/nocat/bin/throttle.fw ] && /usr/local/nocat/bin/throttle.fw

and now the throttle.fw script is being run... guess it needed the path :)

However, throttling still doesn't appear to be happening.  What group do 
I need to put users into to have their bandwidth throttled?  I've tried 
both "Member" and "Co-op", and neither way seems to be throttling my 
bandwidth.  I have the Co-op setting in throttle.fw set to 1536kbps to 
limit them to a single T1 speed.  I'm currently testing on a DS3 so it's 
pretty obvious that I'm not getting throttled when I do a speed test :)

Here's what the top of my throttle.fw looks like now:

TOTAL_DOWN=3mbps
TOTAL_UP=3mbps

OWNER_DOWN=3mbps        # fw mark 1
OWNER_UP=3mbps
OWNER_OPTIONS=""

COOP_DOWN=1536kbps              # fw mark 2
COOP_UP=1536kbps
COOP_OPTIONS=""

PUBLIC_DOWN=256kbps     # fw mark 3
PUBLIC_UP=256kbps
PUBLIC_OPTIONS="bounded"

OPTIONS="allot 1514 maxburst 20 avpkt 1000 prio 1"
METHOD="sfq quantum 1514b perturb 15"

And I haven't changed anything else below that...

Anyone...?
