This looks interesting, though it doesn't apply to your setup. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/21224 Were you reading something different? If so, post the link(s). IMQ probably doesn't apply to you either. You might have come across documents describing ingress shaping, which deals with traffic coming into an interface rather than the usual methods of shaping traffic as it leaves an interface. For a router setup, like yours, ingress shaping is unnecessary because all traffic (except a little bit for the router itself) can be shaped normally as it leaves one interface or the other. To shape upstream traffic, attach a qdisc to your Internet-side interface; to shape downstream traffic, attach a qdisc to your LAN-side interface. > I intend use TC + iptables + debian sarge That's what I use. -Corey _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
