LARTC - Nov 2001 - AW: bandwidth shaping question (up+downstream together)

Hi.

that cant be true... oh noooooooooo !
Isn''t it possible to - lets say.. create a closs of 2 mbit and divide
this
class into two sub-classes: one for up and one for downstream ?

thanks,
Gunther

Title : "Using Linux as bandwidth manager"

it was just an example.

What I want to do is to sell 2 MBit bandwidth to my customer.
I don''t care how much he uses for the up- and how much for the
downsteam -
it does only matter that the total bandwidth (add the two diretions) does
NOT exceed 2 MBit.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Gunther
