My homenetwork is hooked up to an assymetrical (1536/256) ADSL line, using a FreeBSD 4.6 system which provides the usual NAT/Gateway/Firewall services. I'm using dummynet to control the amount of bandwidth used by certain hosts on the network, which all works fine. However, I still suffer from latency when the maximum up- and/or downstream of the line is being utilized. If I understand it well, this happens because the buffer in the ADSL modem fills up completely at those occasions. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
