hi,
im experimenting with hfsc and im not sure how to explain this situation where hfsc wasnt active.
running:
ping -c 100 -i 0.2 -s 200 10.8.33.1
from my client to ping the openvpn server
the client is connected with "redirect-gateway" so the traffic goes over the server
the client is downloading at its maximum speed via http a suse linux image while the ping is running.
with download i get:
100 packets transmitted, 80 received, 20% packet loss, time 20058ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 80.607/92.251/103.602/4.819
without i get:
100 packets transmitted, 96 received, 4% packet loss, time 19956ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 36.073/38.016/42.597/1.132 ms
my question is, why doesnt the first example with a download running not show higher pings then 100?
shouldnt the ping spike like hell and go well above 100(at least the max)?
ok, there is a 20% package loss...that doenst look good.
but besides that, does openvpn priorize small packets by any chance?
