RE: [LARTC] Need some help on HTB and IMQ

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

This question comes up pretty often. Conceptually, we can do it in two ways.

1. All outgoing traffic is shaped on the interface which is internet facing
say eth0. Then the incoming traffic will go the LAN thro' eth1. In this case
shaping outgoing traffic on eth1 is nearly equivalent to shaping incoming
traffic on eth0 ( assuming all traffic is for the LAN and not for the host).
Another option to limit incoming traffic on eth0 is to use the ingress qdisc
and police rates to a cap and shape the bandwidth utilised on eth1 to the
LAN.

In the case above, bandwidth is apportioned as incoming and outgoing
separately. In the case of many ISPs, they would like to allocate bandwidth
for incoming + outgoing instead of dividing what is allotted further between
incoming and outgoing.

In such a case, IMQ device is used. Shaping IMQ will shape the aggregated
traffic of incoming+outgoing.

Hi  Stef

i was going through this thread
you mentioned if iam using this Linux box as a gateway,
i dont required IMQ to control ingress and egress

how can do with out IMQ, can you point me

i have 2 interface eth0 and eth1
like to control bandwidth for my users
both up and down

thanks
hare
