This is mainly directed towards BrainSlayer, but if someone else knows, please feel free to answer. My question is regarding how the rate limiting works. Is it the case that when you have a set limit, say 2000 or 2 mbits, and if your connection down speed is 5000 or 5 mbits, then all the router does, is drop the packets to keep the rate to 2 mbits for the selected IP / MAC / etc.? Is that true, or does it work some other way? Thanks for the replies.
