Re: Traffic shaping ?

If that's your max line speed of 1.5mb, no! It looks like normal throughput for a line of that speed. That's exactly what I saw on a 1.5 on a local isp that does no traffic shaping whatsoever. What you're seeing are the throughput caps throttling you, it can also be congestion. A WireShark dump would be much more useful.

To test for traffic shaping, visit the Glasnost test. Google it for the URL.

Curiousity: what are you running that's generating that kind of pattern?

Usually traffic shaping don't make triangles even if it's a shape... Though I wonder what circular traffic looks like.

I'm used to seeing the peaks even.
I use http://www.bwmonitor.com/ to monitor traffic.
I was downloading Debian wheezy.

Nope ADSL2+ MAX 24Mb/s connected at 12-16Mb/s depending on line conditions.
