Hello, this is my first post to the netfilter list.
Here is my issue:
My internet connection is 28.8 from my home
(painfull, but I won't get into why it has to be this way). I run a
linux iptables NAT/firewall to allow net access to machines on my
network. However, whenever one machine uses the full link speed (downloading a
file), it pretty much cuts the rest of the machines off. Latency goes over 1
second and packet loss is pretty severe for the other machines. I
notice on faster links, filling the upload and download streams does not send
other connections off into timeout land, but it does add latency to
them though.
I did read the bandwidth management section of the
Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic HOWTO. Stochastic Fairness Queueing seams
to fit what I'm looking for. However, I'm no TCP/IP expert, so I am looking for
advice on how you would go about working with this setup. Thanks --Adam.
