Thanks, The only issue here is that for each service I need to create 200 child classes if I have 200 clients... Let me explain the problem better I have the following connection from my ISP: (1024/1024) (rate/ceil) 1) First, I want to divide the 1024 into smaller pieces based on priority: 256/256 - P2P (I want to limit the P2P traffic as much as possible) 256/1024 - HTTP 256/1024 - FTP 256/1024 - SSH, Games, etc (I do not say that this is the best approach but it does not matter - it is just an example) 2) Second task: Suppose I have previously shaped the traffic the way I want, I need 200 classes for 200 clients in which to tell the rate and ceil for each of them 16/512 - Client 1 16/256 - Client 2, etc If I would have 200 clients and 10 types of services and childs to service classes, this means 2000 client classes... I was thinking of a funny setup: Route the traffic to 2 IMQ's -> First: traffic passes imq0 - and is shaped based on services -> Second: traffic from imq0 is routed to imq1 - where it is shaped based on IP of the client. What do you think about this?

I have used mark values to classify traffic. As far as rate/ceil values are concerned.. have class 1:2 rate/ceil 128/512. 1:21 - 8/128 1:22 - 8/64 .. and so on... 1:1(512) | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- | | 1:2(FTP)(128/512) 1:3( Telnet)(384/512) | | -------------------------------------- -------------------------- | | | | 1:21 (8/128) 1:22 (8/64) 1:31(128/384) 1:32(128/256) Hope this helps you, Regards, Vinod C Mihai Vlad wrote: >Hello guys, > >I need to accomplish 2 tasks with one Linux router: > >1) Shape the traffic based on services (e.g. HTTP max 512 kbps, P2P max 128 >kbps - with a lower prio, etc) > >2) After I have classified the traffic based on services, I want to pass it >to the clients with different rates/ceils (one client will get 8/128 kbps, >other 8/64 kbps, etc).
