I ended up with a combination of ipp2p and l7-filter, since they each seemed to pick up stuff the other missed. I used them to jump to connmark, and protected them in front with a connmark check so they didn't waste time checking connections I already knew were P2P. And then anything with connmark went to an IMQ, which I was able to rate-shape depending on time of day. I however found that I ran out of memory, and had to turn down the aging of the conntrack list, on the theory that P2P traffic doesn't spend a lot of time completely idle, being more inclined to short-lived but active connections. I did this on Debian Sarge, and it required kernel rebuilding, _and_ a rebuild of the iptables package. I can post up the patches I used, if you like. I haven't updated it in a fair while, so there's a reasonable chance it's an older version of either ipp2p or l7-filter, or the IMQ patch. -- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, on an alternate email client. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
