But, I can't tell users what to do and not do, if you know what I mean. As mentioned earlier, I have user downloading p2p all day long, there are others using voip, there are others that use it for gaming, others chatting, etc... So, I thought if I limit users' bandwidth to a certain amount that I could just have them use whatever they're assigned and they can do whatever they want with that amount of bandwidth. > Andy > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
