Newbe... I am following the Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO, as I am having difficulty with a satelite ADSL connection. Section 9.2.2.2 describes a case identicle to mine, and surgests throttle using 'tc'. On a test machine I entered: # tc qdisc add dev eth1 root btf rate 64kbit latency 50ms burst 1500 When I enter 'tc qdisc show' I get: disc tbf 8001: dev eth1 rate 64Kbit burst 1499b lat 60.9ms But, I now find my ftp failes. In either direction. It creates a file of 0 bytes, then stalles for ever more. Also I have no 'man tc' and I can't remove this entry in any logical way (like with 'tc qdisc del dev eth1') I can think of. Can anybody please let me know how I get ftp to work with the Token Bucket Filter, and how to remove the entry once it's been entered... Thanks greatly in advance, Ben PS, kernel 2.4.19 _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
