I'm pretty smart, and was once regarded as pretty network and computer savvy. But the world has obviously passed me by! I have a server in a colocation facility, and I was recently hit by a bill for overage; I used more bandwidth than I expected, and I must pay. So now, I want to bother with packet shaping on the server. The *most* important thing is to clamp bandwidth to the 1Mbps that my contract allows for. This is well within my ordinary usage; there is no reason for me to want more. But I must be careful about overage: when I am transferring large amounts of data, I don't mind waiting for how long it takes at 1Mbps (minus overhead), but I certainly don't want to pay lots extra! This is the most important thing. The next thing is that, once the bandwidth has been clamped, I want to have the ability to be flexible about shaping traffic. Obviously such things as ssh need priority, and then AFS, and then ftp and http. But this is still really only a single-user case, so even if the shaping is not so great, it's ok. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what tcng syntax would get me what I want. Can someone help me? Thomas
