Variation in bandwidth limiting when using latency

Hi,

I see strange variation in the bandwidth limit when using latency setting. I am "streaming" to the PC where Connection Emulator is installed the maximum bandwidth available using PCoIP.

First I use only bandwidth limiting to 2MBps. The limit works well, and I read the "IN:" parameter to 2Mbps. The graph looks flat.
When I activate Latency to 65ms, I see "symmetric" spikes ranging from 1.7 to 2.3 totaling 2.0Mbps as mean, but exceeding the max setting of 2.0Mbps.

I have the snapshot of both but cannot post them to the forum.

Is it normal?
Christophe.

PS: I put the buffer setting to 10 Millions.

Hi Christophe,

Are you using version 1.6? I have observed similar behaviour with older versions, but if you are seeing this with the latest version, I will check it again.

Hi,

I am using Version 1.6.0 64bits, on a Windows 7 64bit PC. This PC has only one network plug.

Again, sorry for a delay with my response. We've been trying to reproduce this behavior and this didn't seem to happen, at least for a regular FTP download. This may be something specific to PCoIP.

However, I have also done a couple of changes in the CE core related to the bandwidth cap and latency simulation. Please try the latest build and let me know if you are still experiencing issues.
