Re: Howto: Quicker web browsing, slower FTP traffic?



Check out the "wondershaper" and the LARTC (Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic 
Control) mailing list and website.  The mailing list is quite high traffic 
but a wealth of information.  The wonder shaper does a bit of traffic shaping 
and prioritization.

Another possibility is just setting up plain old TOS.  I use shorewall as my 
firewall and I have interactive protocols such as ssh set up for 
"Minimize-Delay (16)" and bandwidth intensive ones such as ftp-date set to 
"Maximize-Throughput (8)".   You could do much the same thing, substituting 
http for ssh (or in addition to).

Linux has quite an impressive set of traffic control features and there are 
numerous projects on the go to improve the featureset all the time.  The 
LARTC site and mailing list are going to be your best resource for this sort 
of stuff.
