Sure, I'm interested. As well as I'm interested to see your configuration to do so. I'm still experimenting. Thanks Stef. The problem is that the machine this all intended for is not a pure router/shaper, but a server with current traffic about 10-15M. Its usage getting out of control and needs to be shaped. At this point I have no idea how much resoures the traffic shaping would consume and whether I have to introduce intermediate shaper device or I can configure qos on the same machine. > Stef Michael
