Greetings. Environment: 50ish client PCs running Windows XP 10Mbps internet connection Primary application is internet gaming and some web browsing. I would like to create a Linux based solution which would provide network monitoring services, and traffic shaping to prioritise interactive traffic. What kind of hardware would I need to use to be able to forward at 10Mbps, with low latency? Has anyone done such a demanding chore with LARTC? Ideally I'd like to use a bridged solution, so if it screws up, the user can simply unplug the cables, and join then with a cable joiner. Is this just asking for trouble? I know I would have to use 2.5.47???, which I'm not really familiar with, how stable is 2.5 ATM? I also have a query about scheduling. I'm thinking that it would be unwise to use things like preemptive scheduling, since that's more for user-space apps, not kernel ops. Am I right in thinking this? Many thanks. I'm trying out LARTC with an old 4/66, but installing takes bloody ages (Debian) -- Cameron Kerr Email: cameron.kerr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Website: http://nzgeeks.org/cameron/
