Hi everyone. I'm trying to implement the Linux 2.6 QoS capabilities to
distribute the bandwidth in my network apps, but I can't get the limits
to work properly.

For example:

tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent root handle 1: htb default 1
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 520kbit

These sample commands should maintain output traffic to a maximum of 520
kbit/s , if I'm correct.
But the transfers here become in fact limited to approximately one
quarter (25%) of that value.
No matter what I put as 'rate', a limit seem to be enforced at 25% of
it.

(I get same results when I try cbq or tbf qdiscs, too.)

Anyone knows what the problem could be? Thanks!!

Solved: new kernel build replacing CONFIG_NET_SCH_CLK_CPU with
CONFIG_NET_SCH_CLK_GETTIMEOFDAY .
Maybe the cpu cycle counter doesn't work well as clock source on this
athlon-M w/powernow, which is.. frequently hopping frequencies -_-'
