[Chilli] Chilli Digest, Vol 63, Issue 14

iptables rules are exactly the same on Barrier Breaker RC2 and Barrier 
Breaker RC3 and final, but upload limit was broken in RC3. There are 
also iptables rules in FORWARD chain for upload limiting (are this the 
right one?)

pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source 
destination
0     0 DROP       all  --  *      br-hotspot  0.0.0.0/0 
0.0.0.0/0

316 97194 DROP       all  --  br-hotspot *       0.0.0.0/0 
0.0.0.0/0

Some packets are also dropped, but upload limiting is not working. 
Version of coova chilli is the same 1.3.0.

Any other suggestion?

Kind regards, Bojan
