What bout this : for all cbq commands : bandwidth 100mbit eth0 cbq qdisc cbq class rate = 512kbit, bounded cbq class 1, rate < 512kbit cbq class ..., rate < 512kbit cbq class x, rate < 512kbit So all traffic from class 1 ... x togehter is bounded to 512kbit. eth1 cbq qdisc cbq class rate = 100mbit, bounded cbq class 1, rate 512kbit bounded cbq class 10, rate < 512kbit cbq class ..., rate < 512kbit cbq class x, rate < 512kbit cbq class 2, rate 99,5Mbit cbq class 20, rate < 99,5Mbit cbq class ..., rate < 99,5Mbit cbq class x, rate < 99,5Mbit Class 1 is for all traffic from internet -> LAN Class 2 is for all traffic from shaper -> LAN And if you really want to be sure it's working, you should take 500kbit. So YOU are the bottleneck and in control of the link and not the modem. Stef -- stef.coene@xxxxxxxxx "Using Linux as bandwidth manager" http://www.docum.org/ #lartc @ irc.oftc.net
