Thanks for the very prompt reply. I've been googling already for a few days now trying to understand how bandwidth management works. I came to understand that TC is a utility that I can use to shape up my local network bandwidth consumption. Im hoping I will be guided here through. Here are my questions: 1. Is TC works on an interface of a physical device only? 2. My objective is to limit the upload/download rate of each computer in our local network attached to CPE. In this case, all PC's are attached to common interface (let's sat eth0), will I be able to filter or limit individiual PC on their UL/DL rate? Seeing those examples in the net, tc works on device interface only. Hope my understanding is not correct. Thanks. More question to come...... grace _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
