simple TOS based setup vs more complex ones

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

Hi,

After reading section 9 of LARTC it seemed to me that a pure TOS based QoS setup with be sufficient for a small newtork. Interactive packets could have the highest priority, second highest for DNS and small HTTP packets and lowest prio for all others.

The advantage is that, the setup would be simply a couple of iptables lines, because the default pfifo_fast qdisc already implements priorities.

Questions:

For this case, what is the recommended way to limit the outgoing rate to ensure that nothing is queued on the modem?

Can this be done with pfifo_fast?

Best regards
Gustavo
