Hello Martin, I have recently read your howto from: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Traffi c-Control-HOWTO.html I quote: "Of the many types of contention for network bandwidth, this is one of the easier types of contention to address in general. By using the SFQ qdisc, traffic in a particular queue can be separated into flows, each of which will be serviced fairly (inside that queue). Well-behaved applications (and users) will find that using SFQ and ESFQ are sufficient for most sharing needs. The Achilles heel of these fair queuing algorithms is a misbehaving user or application which opens many connections simultaneously (e.g., eMule, eDonkey, Kazaa). By creating a large number of individual flows, the application can dominate slots in the fair queuing algorithm. Restated, the fair queuing algorithm has no idea that a single application is generating the majority of the flows, and cannot penalize the user. Other methods are called for." Can you post a real script using esfq, that splits the bandwidth equally per IP? The documentation on esfq is scarce and I have no idea where to start from. Thanks again for your time. -----Original Message----- From: Martin A.

There is already an esfq qdisc [0] which does this! This patch may be a good one, but since esfq already exists, perhaps you could try that instead. -Martin [0] http://www.ssi.bg/~alex/esfq/index.html -- Martin A.
