Re: Bandwidth Throttling?

Thanx for the suggestion... tried it, but unfortunately it still doesn't 
seem to be throttling.  What group should I be putting users into to 
have them affected by the COOP settings in throttle.fw?  Member, Co-op, 
co-op, coop, ....?  I've tried Member and Co-op so far, but neither 
seems to  get throttled..

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="bounded"

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"

Or am I not getting throttled because there's only one user/computer 
trying to use the connection as someone else mentioned?  Does throttling 
only occur when it's needed...  ie, when there is more than one user 
trying to use the bandwidth?  I'm testing w/a computer hooked directly 
to my gateway using a crossover right now so if that's the case.......

thx
