You also need a frontend to select packets, that can be routes/firewall rules or special filters. The priorization also only works for bandwidth in longer time scale, short term the latency can still be bad depending on the line and other factors. For small bandwidths you also need faster HZ. The documentation is unfortunately not too good. A starting point is probably http://snafu.freedom.org/linux2.2/iproute-notes.html -Andi - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
