Sadly, you have chosen the most difficult protocol (from the network layer perspective) to start with. See recent FTP threads: http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/2003q1/007545.html http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/2003q1/007577.html Might I suggest using tcng? It is much more generally intelligble to non-specialists than tc syntax. I have recently made available a brief introductory article [1] on tcng usage. In order to get "everything" in perspective you may find that an attentive reading of the LARTC HOWTO [2] will put you a leap forward. Also don't forget the generally instructive documentation about HTB (since you'll probably be using HTB) [3]. And Stef Coene's site is pretty much required reading for a detailed understanding of linux traffic control [4], complete with examples, graphs, diagrams and ample explanatory text. Also check the newly deployed FAQ-o-Matic [5]. -Martin [1] http://linux-ip.net/articles/htb-and-tcng.html [2] http://lartc.org/howto/ [3] http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/ [4] http://www.docum.org/ [5] http://www.docum.org/stef.coene/qos/faq/cache/1.html : I want a small excersize to understand how everything fits together. What : I'd like to do is limit incoming ftp traffic to 10k/second. That's all. : This should be enough to understadn how everything works. Can someone : help me with a quick recipe? : : Thanks : -jeremy : : _______________________________________________ : LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx : http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/ : -- Martin A.
