What if you the iptables helper that can match packet with a string in it? I think the select is unique so you can see the difference. Once you can recognise the packets, you can mark them with iptables. That mark can be used to put the packets in differenct classes so you can configure different rates for the packets. But this will suck if you select statement is too big for one packet. Stef -- stef.coene@docum.org "Using Linux as bandwidth manager" http://www.docum.org/ #lartc @ irc.oftc.net
