Hello Iam using RH 7.1 and want to control the down stream bandwidth the set up is --------------------------- eth2 | Linux | eth0 Internet -----------------------| box | ---------------------------- LAN 172.16.1.185 | ------------------------- | 172.16.1.180 In LAN for the particular machine say 172.16.1.38 i have to allow only 100Kbit Iam using cbq.init-v.6.0 for bandwidth management. the scripts i use is DEVICE=eth0,10Mbit,1Mbit RATE=100Kbit WEIGHT=10Kbit PRIO=5 BOUNDED=yes RULE=172.16.1.38 this allows 100 kbit to 172.16.1.38 if i download any of the files from my linux box but if i download a file from internet by setting the gate way of 172.16.1.38 as 172.16.1.180 it allows nearly 10Mbit i have tried the same using tc command where is the mistake ? Advance Thanks Vanitha
