Newbe hoping this is the correct area to post.
I've been reading the LARTC HOWTO, but at 110 pages, I am finding it
difficult to know where to start. I hope you may be able to surgest a
starting place to a couple of problems I am having.
I am dealing with the slow end of a satelite ADSL. This is 'lumpy',
with huge latency (1 to 30 sec), 10% dropped packets, huge but
intermittent bursts of packets, and generally a pile of poo. The
supplier (BT) is of course no help, so we have to live with what we have.
I have tried limiting the bandwidth with a Tocket Bucket Filter with
almost no effect.
What I think I need is to agressivelly schedule SSH and Telnet before
all other TCP connections. Others I don't care about. There are I see
many scheduling options, can any member surgest how I might atchive this?
The second problem I have is that my connection keeps terminating
(Telnet, SSH) with 'Connection closed by foreign host', with no message
in logs. Always during streaming of data. Some part of the kernel is
getting tired of waiting for the other end to respond, or possible a
buffer overflow? Again, if any member may surgest how this can be
countered with extream predudice, I would be extreamly greatful.
