I just take my private network on eth1, masquerade it and shape it over eth0... Don't know what to say... take a look at the output, maybe you'll find something wrong. Don't mind the origninal numbering (of the classes and packet marking) I used in my first message as I changed it for easier reading... anyway, i'm attaching my original shaping script to this message. One more question: I always use weight = rate / 10. Why does weight has these strange values in my output?
