I want to thank the list and Andy Furniss for helping me get started with TC. Here is my current script with some additional comments. Please note that I can't really endorse anything below, as I'm new at this. I can tell you that using the monitor_tc_top.pl script, I can see traffic going into all these classes and that my users seem very happy with the results (we are 57 people sharing a 2mbit/512k VSAT link in Iraq). Also, all of this code is ultimately stolen from some online source, I would love to give credit, but I don't keep records :) I'll try to fill in some of where I found all of this as well as compile a list of links on the page listed below. Ok, pasting my code into this gmail window was getting ugly. So I posted my code at: http://www.stardotstar.org/?page_id=63 In case the script isn't clear, here is my overall idea: 4 kinds of traffic 1. 'Overhead Traffic' of ACKs and SYNs. Latency is a big problem, so I gave this a class of its own. 2. 'Interactive Traffic' Telnet, SSH, and since our main goal is to use this to communicate with family during our deployment, webchat. I've tried to get a good method for matching this traffic but nothing great has happenned. I have L7 filters installed and will probably start using them soon. However, I also need some way to match video and audio chat which I haven't seen yet. For now there is an ugly hack which you will see. 3. Web Traffic. This is our secondary priority for our network. 4. All else. Within each of the above classes (1:10, 1:20, 1:30, 1:100 respectively), I create a class for each IP on my network. I am using shorewall, and have all of my IPs listed in /etc/ethers. There is no checking of IPs, which would be a good addition to this script. Feedback is welcome, use anything at your own risk, area not in sight from tower :) Edward _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
