With that extension, you can mark those TCP connections which have transmitted a certain number of bytes. Then you can use the fwmark QoS filter to differentiate them. (The drawback is that someone can bypass it with closing the connection after the limit, and resuming the download with another connection.) Currenty connbytes is in the extra section, so you must patch the kernel (and possibly iptables) to use it. Alternatively, you can use delay pool feature of the Squid HTTP proxy, which does almost the same on application level. norbi _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
