Hello,

thanks for the help I''ve received here, I think I''ve cracked
my problem.  I
have a tiny (5MBit) satellite downlink to share between several thousand
clients, and I wanted to give higher paying clients more speed.

I tried WRR, but after three days meddling with kernels etc, gave up.  The
attached script uses CBQ to do the following:

Create classes for various speeds (512Kbit -> 8Kbit), and assign IP
addresses to each class

Create a default class, limited to 2Mbit, which everyone else will share
equally (SFQ)

I''ve tested it quite a bit, and it seems to work.  However, I really
don''t
know the details of tc etc, so it''s possible that this is total
rubbish.  If
it is, could someone point this out?

Also, does anyone know a good way of filtering by MAC address, rather than
by IP address?

Gavin

use the ability of netfilter to mark those packets - this works fine
here.
