Hi I am connected to the internet thru a 128kbps connection, with a single box. There is no separate router. I have a 'cvs update' going on for a rather large repository. Whenever there is any HTTP traffic(browser/wget/apt-get etc), the CVS traffic seems to come to a halt. So it looks like my ISP is giving higher priority to HTTP traffic. Is there any way I can give higher priority to the CVS traffic? I have read lartc, but all the techniques it talks about (cbq, htb etc) works only for outgoing traffic, not for incoming data. I am not sure if the ingress qdisc is suitable for this problem In freebsd, I could use 'ipfw pipes' to control incoming traffic too.. Is there a similar mechanism that can be done in linux?
