Hi, Due to the fact that you can only limit out-going packets, I''d like to to the following: + | 128Kbps 10Mbps | + [Internet] | [eth0]---[eth1] [eth2]----[eth3] | [Int. LAN] + | | | | + +-------+ + x''ed UTP So that for limiting the incoming bandwidth, I''m going to set up tc on the eth2. Problem is, would this kind of setup burn the CPU pretty fast? BTW, the router is a P III machine (also running Squid), and I don''t think that I could go any faster. Another question, can the above setup be accomplished by using /dev/tapX''s? I have tried to have /dev/tap0 running. But when I looked the device up using tcpdump, there was nothing in it. (I bound Squid on the tap device, and had the routing set up properly.) Thanks in advance, Oki -- An implication embedded in this is that the socialist days of the Internet are over. Socially, the advent of IP-QoS is already being blamed for introducing a caste system on the Internet: the ``bit-haves'''' and ``bit-have-nots'''' are becoming reality. http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue62/3369.html
