Repo throttle limit - no effect

Hi,

I have to deal with a few POS that only got 2 MBit/s WAN connection speed.

Currently I am using iperf to get max and min speeds in JSON file:
“bits_per_second”: 1717259.1644205833

I am using Windows powershell module to control kopia.

function calcMaxUpload {
	$jsonFileUp = Get-ChildItem -Path "$($jsonFileBasePath)\$($env:COMPUTERNAME)\" -Filter *-up*.json | select -First 1
	$downloadBitsSec=[math]::Round(([int] $($($(Get-Content -Raw $jsonFileUp.Fullname | ConvertFrom-Json).end.sum_sent).bits_per_second)/8),0)
	$global:repoUploadMax = [math]::Round($downloadBitsSec - ($downloadBitsSec  * 0.2),0)
	$global:repoUploadMax 
}

downloadBitsSec - (downloadBitsSec * 0.2)

Unfortunately, windows still shows an uplink with 1,8 MBit/s - 1,9 MBit/s

Our lancom router are managed via our ISP. So I get a lot off warning tickets next morning, because router was unreachable.

The reason is high bandwidth load.

$kopiaArgsSnap = @(
"--config-file=$($confFile)"
"snapshot create"
"\$($env:computername)<snapDir>"
"--parallel=20"
)

As you can see snapshot create is currently set to 20 files parallel.

What am I missing? downloadBitsSec / 20 (parallel threads)?

I don’t get it.

I calculated:
UP: 125812 Byte = 1,006496 MBit
DOWN: 493627 = 3,949016 MBit

This is what cli output looks like:
Setting max download speed to 493.6 KB/s.
Setting max upload speed to 125.8 KB/s.

KiloByte? 125.8 KB/s = ~ 1 MBit/s ??

Bandwidth is still to high. I know, it’s simple math: * 8 or /8 or we multiplicate with 1000 or 1024.

Sorry for my question. I can really not handle it right now on my own. Any tips?

thx, Crusher
