LARTC - May 2002 - TCP/UDP traffic priority.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,
Is it possible with Linux Traffic Control system to give priority to some 
TCP/UDP traffic based upon the port number ?

For example, I would like to give priority to the mail traffic (TCP port 25) 
over the other kind of traffic. Is it possible ?

Greetings.

Yes. You can either use tc''s own packet classification or mark packets
with
an iptables/ipchains to route packets through differnt traffic shapers.

See the Section 9 of the lartc HOWTo:

http://lartc.org/HOWTO//cvs/2.4routing/html/c427.html

For an intro to the options you have available.
