The HOWTO covers this quite well: <http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO.html> but there were two hiccups I encountered: 1. with "tc class" the priority must be no more than 8 2. with "tc filter" the priority must be no more than 99 Here is my setup (shortened), modify to suit: ## ROOT Class tc qdisc add dev eth2 root handle 12: cbq bandwidth 10Mbit avpkt 1400 tc class add dev eth2 parent 12: classid 12:1 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit \ rate 10Mbit allot 1514 weight 1Mbit prio 2 maxburst 20 avpkt 1400 ## FLOWs # 192.168.2.12 (unbounded) tc class add dev eth2 parent 12:1 classid 12:212 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit \ rate 256Kbit allot 1514 weight 25Kbit prio 5 maxburst 20 avpkt 1400 # 192.168.2.13 (bounded) tc class add dev eth2 parent 12:1 classid 12:213 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit \ rate 64Kbit allot 1514 weight 6Kbit prio 5 maxburst 20 avpkt 1400 bounded # unbounded class for local traffic tc class add dev eth2 parent 12:1 classid 12:300 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit \ rate 3Mbit allot 1514 weight 300Kbit prio 3 maxburst 20 avpkt 1400 ## QDISCs tc qdisc add dev eth2 parent 12:212 sfq quantum 1514b perturb 15 tc qdisc add dev eth2 parent 12:213 sfq quantum 1514b perturb 15 tc qdisc add dev eth2 parent 12:300 sfq quantum 1514b perturb 15 ## FILTERs # unbounded class (local) tc filter add dev eth2 parent 12:0 protocol ip prio 10 u32 \ match ip src 192.168.2.0/24 flowid 12:300 # bounded classes (Internet) tc filter add dev eth2 parent 12:0 protocol ip prio 20 u32 \ match ip dst 192.168.2.12 flowid 12:212 tc filter add dev eth2 parent 12:0 protocol ip prio 20 u32 \ match ip dst 192.168.2.13 flowid 12:213 I have only limited downloads. To cover uploads as well you need to do the same thing for that direction. -- Manfred ---------------------------------------------------------------- NetfilterLogAnalyzer, NetCalc, whois at: <http://logi.cc/linux/>
