Indeed.  I suffer from the same problem with my PPPoATM link, where my shaping 
configuration assumes I'm operating over an Ethernet link when it's really 
encapsulated over an ATM network.  Bandwidth available for Ethernet packets 
varies depending on how many packets are going out over the link and the size 
of each packet.
