[Firehol-support] fireqos does not work as described in the documentation

[Michael Niehren]

Hi,

i am new to firehol and first want to use fireqos without firehol.

So, i tried out this "small" config

DEVICE=eth1
INPUT_SPEED=16Mbit
OUTPUT_SPEED=2200Kbit
LINKTYPE="adsl local pppoe-llc"

interface $DEVICE eth1-in input rate $INPUT_SPEED $LINKTYPE
    class vpns                       commit 40%
       match port 1194               # OpenVPN
    class surfing                    commit 1%
       match tcp sports 0:1023

interface $DEVICE eth1-out output rate $OUTPUT_SPEED $LINKTYPE
    class vpns                       commit 40%
       match port 1194               # OpenVPN
    class surfing                    commit 1%
       match tcp dports 0:1023

In the documentation on chapter 4.ii, the following is described:
   ​ii. *The class with highest priority* will get all the spare bandwidth there is, of course only 
when it needs it.

After that i start 2 downloads, one over openvpn, one normal. As the openvpn connection has the hightest
priority (0), i expected that the openvpn download should get most of the input bandwidth, but it
doesn't. Both connections got 8Mbit.

Where is my fault ?

best regards
   Michael
