Hello Rani, : i am currently now serving PPPoE in my area. i had a script : generated from tcng that worked perfectly before i started : serving PPPoE. the issue is not in the script it self BUT in that : "tc" code is not shaping on the ethernet anymore BUT INSTEAD on : the pppX devices. I tested it and talking jargon, what should i : do? : : The issue is that for each PPPoE login, PPPoE-server creates on : the server a pppX device. that is 10 logins means 10 ppp devices. : from ppp0 till ppp9. and one might die upon disconnection. I'd suggest simply using the pppoe ip-up configuration scripts to call the appropriate tc or tcng commands. Since ip-up should be called something like this: ip-up ppp0 $TTY $SPEED 192.168.0.4 10.0.0.4 $OTHER Is ip-up called by YOUR pppoe-server binary? I am not able to test this. you should be able to create a script that would either execute tc commands or a create tcng file on the fly. I created the basic structure of such a script below, although you could probably add/replace your own shell functions (tc_sfq, tc_my_complex_config) with a much more complex traffic control configuration.
