Hardware shaping

["Ronnie Lindgren" <ronnie@radiolan.se>]

Hi all,

Question: 
Exactly, how does the hardware shaping work on the PCA200E with Linux ATM?

Our config:
atmarp -s 195.163.xx.yy  0.0.33 qos cbr:pcr=166cps


Problem:
In this case, our ISP's ATM-switch cuts our traffic when it is heavy loaded. Small packages can get through (5 bytes). Big packages don't. 

It seems that the Linux-ATM shaping is different than the switch (unknown brand). When our ISP configures their switch to 80-90 Mbits/s everything works ok. But, when shaping is set to 2.5Mbit/s on the switch (same as our shaping above?) it don't work. Why?
