Hello,
I''m starting to toy with CBQ.init and was wondering if someone would
take the
time to answer a few of my questions.
First my setup:
      LAN
       |
  [FW/router]----ISDN to NET
       |
      DMZ
I''m experimenting with shaping the trafic between the NET and the LAN.
I''ve
got two classes defined as follows:
cbq-10.net-lan---------------
DEVICE=eth0,10Mbit,1Mbit
RATE=81Kbit
WEIGHT=8Kbit
PRIO=5
BOUNDED=yes
RULE=172.17.1.0/24
and
cbq-20.net-lan---------------
DEVICE=aps0,128Kbit,12Kbit
RATE=81Kbit
WEIGHT=8Kbit
PRIO=5
BOUNDED=yes
RULE=172.17.1.0/24,
The shaping seems to be working as advertized, but I''m not entirely
satisfied
with the behavior. And it''s not clear to me what to do to get what I 
want. (which is the reason for the post) Let me explain.
With the above in place, traffic from the internet to the 172.x.x.x network 
is limited to somewhere around 10Kbytes/s. But say I start downloading a big 
file off the net from a client on the lan. This fills up the available 
bandwidth, and everything else comes to a grinding halt (very very slow), 
including any shell connections to the Firewall/router.
What I''d like is for all clients on the lan to share (nicely) a given
amount
of bandwidth, devided equally among all using it. Also, I''d rather not 
penalize connections directly to/from the Firewall/router, although I suspect 
that fixing this is simply a matter of putting some better rules in place.
Comments/suggestions are very much appreciated.
