It is important to note that this generally works well for outgoing traffic but is not particularly effective against incoming traffic since that is *pushed* onto your machine and it has no way to control this.



You can control incoming bandwidth much the same as outbound - but it's hard to keep latency low all of the time.


Andy.


Are you able to selectively control incoming bandwidth? e.g. I have some BT's running sucking up all that good bandwidth and my incoming pipe gets saturated (it's 2MB, so this doesn't generally happen). How would I tell the BT streams to slow down while giving more priority to the important stuff? I know how to do it on egress, just not on ingress.


You can treat it a egress traffic coming from shaping box to LAN. So the marking/filtering should be no different. In the BT case, there is a project on sf.net called ipp2p which can mark it, it needs you to patch netfilter/kernel with connmark. I don't use it so can't tell you in detail.
