Bug#218671: apache-common: mod_bandwidth BandWidth number off by a factor of five
Package: apache-common
Version: 1.3.27.0-2
Severity: minor
I have this in my Apache configuration file:
| BandWidthModule On
| BandWidthPulse 1000000
| <Directory /var/pub/library>
| # Though the documentation says the number specifies the number of bytes per
| # second. In practice the value needs to be several times higher than the
| # number of bytes per second you want.
| # I'm going for 8KiB/s.
| BandWidth all 41000
| </Directory>
When I use that configuration and download over a 100Mbit/s link I get:
| 0% [ ] 862,448 8.02K/s ETA 22:54:47
The documentation (not part of the Debian binary) says the bandwidth
limit is in bytes/s meanwhile it seems to be closer to bytes/five second
period.
The documentation I am using came from the source code to the bandwidth
module from the Debian package. I suspect the module's implementation
needs to be corrected.
