=== traffic\client shaping settings request ===
I *think* the default settings are optimized for a 3Mb/s connection. 
I would multiply the defaults by 0.66 and run with that first. Don't 
change anything on the mesh routing or mesh traffic - just the client 
shaping. I have a bonded T-1 with 3Mb/s up and down and the default 
settings work quite well.
One thing to note, if your internet connection is asynchronous, set 
the ethernet traffic speed to the speed of your UPLINK speed (like 
256 or 512kbps - whatever it is). That way outbound traffic will get 
shaped properly - yet inbound traffic will burst to the maximum 
amount. We have an ADSL backup and when we use it, we set ethernet 
speeds to 256kbps. You can still burst on the download side to the 
full bandwidth of that DSL line.
