Hi, > As a newbie to QoS, I have several questions which I hope somebody can answer. > -what is the system requerment to shape a 100Mbit fullduplex network. That depends on how you want to shape it, I guess. > -Is there a already a tool to report the shaped traffic (like there is ipacsum for ipchains) The tc program can display counters . > -is it possible to build a transparant shaper (eg. a bridge from eth0 to eth1 (no ip's) and a console eth2 (with > ipaddress)) Shaping will work on bridges, yes.
