Hi, I would like to control the amount of bandwidth provided to each service. such as 40kbps max for ftp, 50kbps max for http and so on. Or perhaps 30% for ftp, 50% for http and so on. I think i remember reading something on the web which shows how to do that but I cannot find it anylonger. Can anyone point me to something? Thanks, I appreciate your help. Dhaval

Thanks, I appreciate your help.You need to put packets in classes based on firewall marks, most likely. I do shaping based on packet size to affect only large (bulk-transfer) packets; this is only possible using fwmark. Rusty''s Remarkably Unreliable Guides document firewall marks; the lartc howto documents using them for classifying. regards, David -- David L.
