Hi! I tried to make IMQ work for the past week, but i keep getting a lot of trouble with it. First the latency is growing from 0.1ms to 1.5ms and second the CPU usage is very high and is not very stable, sometimes, after a day, there''s a lot of packet loss. I''m using the latest stable kernel 2.6.9 with latest imq patch. Is there any other alternative to IMQ for limiting inbound and outbound traffic? Will CLASSIFY from iptables work for both upload and download? I want to separate local traffic from internet traffic, so can I create two classes, like this | 1:1 | | 1:10 | | 1:20 | iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 10.1.1.0/24 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 1:10 (let''s say for local traffic) iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j CLASSIFY --set-class 1:20 now all local traffic will be in class 1:10 and internet traffic in class 1:20 and i will make another class inside 1:10 for every ip in lan. tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 100mbps tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:10 classid 1:100 htb rate 1000kbit ceil 1000kbit quantum 2000 tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:100 handle 100: sfq perturb 10 tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:10 protocol ip prio 1 u32 match ip dst 10.1.1.1 flowid 1:100 Will this work? Also if i change -s with -d will it work for upload? PS: If i compile IMQ as a module after adding more than a few rules in iptables with -j IMQ --to-dev 0 i cannot ping any host. It is working for let''s say 50-100, i don''t know, but if i put more than 500 it dies. If i compile it in kernel it is working with more than 500 but i get packet loss after a while of using it..
