Hi, A, B and C are three machines. A and C directly access to theInternet while B access to the Internet through A. +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | +-------------+ +-------------+ | | | A | | B | | | | | --- eth0 ---> <--- eth0 --- | | | | | 192.168.0.1 | | 192.168.0.2 | | | +-------------+ +-------------+ | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | ppp0 | v Internet ^ | +---+ | C | +---+ A runs GNU/Linux and is configured to MASQUERADE B and in such a way that packets incoming on ppp0 are DROP'd unless their state is either ESTABLISHED or RELATED or unless their destination is port 6346 (both tcp and udp), in which case they are redirected to B. B runs Shareaza, a P2P that is able to access several kind of networks such as edonkey, gnutella and gnutella2 and it should only use port 6346. I'd like to shape outgoing traffic, that is, I'd like to limit the bandwidth B uses to upload files over the Internet. I'm sharing the connection with other individuals and I don't have much control over B... I only have very little informations about it, sorry, and most of them comes from tcpdump. If B uploads a file to C through gnutella everything works like a charm since packets look just like this: 192.168.0.2:6346 > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyyy With tc I filter packets whose source port is 6346 and everything is fine. Problems come when B uploads a file to C through edonkey. Packets don't always look like the former ones. Sometimes the source port is 6346 in this case as well, but more often they look like this: 192.168.0.2:zzzzz > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4662 Port 4662 is the most common one but it isn't always the same. How can I work around it? Thanks in advance.
