Prio is perfect to speed up low rate traffic like ack, telnet, > ssh (no scp), ... I see... Ok, ive just tried: class add dev $INTERFACE parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 256kbit class add dev $INTERFACE parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb rate 256kbit ceil 256kbit prio 1 class add dev $INTERFACE parent 1:1 classid 1:25 htb rate 32kbit ceil 128kbit prio 8 Even with this, class 25 still seems to get preference of traffic... it just sticks at 128kbit outbound no matter what class 20 is doing. With what youve said above, i cant see how this is the case? Thanks again, and Merry Christmas to all, Mark. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
