I have tried everything.. IMQ, SFQ, ESFQ, creating a class for each user
connected, but it just seems to be imposible to shape traffic with p2p. For
those of you who haven't red any of my emails, i have to DSL connections and
a linux box doing conntrack and SNAT for 200 "greedy" users. The
problem is
KaZZa seems to open thousands of TCP connections in a couple of seconds, and
floods the system.

I tried to shape traffic to grant web-surfing with low latency, but it seems
to be imposible. I have been looking for a comercial solution, but there is
no way this can be done at all. I dont know if any of you have a solution, i
am going to read a bit about DSMARK because for real, i have no idea what to
do.. Thank you especially to STEF COENE for his patience.. :) I will let you
all know if i find a solution, because i am sure this is not only happening
to me.. :)

I had the same problem and i fixed it by limiting the number of connections
per second in the p2p program. Of course i can do that cause i'm the user of
said program. Emule has an option to limit the number of connections per 5
seconds. I dont think Kazzaa has that :(

It might possible to limit the number of connections per second from some
IP/PORT pair in iptables. I didnt test if that fixes it.
