LARTC - Jun 2001 - Which Qos options should I choose here?

I have a linux box pentium133 running redhat7.0 2.2.18 kernel.
I wish to use this as a firewall/masquerading router to share a ppp 
connection (at first), to two or three pc''s via eth0, 192.168.0.x

A few questions hopefully someone can answer.

1)  Will u32 filters on dest ip work with masquerading, ie at the output to 
the individual pc''s?

2)  Is u32 available in non-iproute2 machines? ( I am unable to compile it)

3) I wish to fairly divide the bandwidth between 2 machines,and have full 
bandwidth available to either when there is no demand from the other, which 
is my best option?

cbq with two equal class priorities?
sfq ?

Any suggestions please?

I''m not sure I understand your question, but if you intend to use the
filter in order to seperate the traffic to the different PC''s. Yes,
that
can be done.

Try harder. Compile it elsewhere, What is the exact problem? I even
believe RedHat provides binary RPM versions, not sure though.

Read the HOWTO. Use seperate classes. You can set equal priorities and
rates. Try it.
