Hello everyone,
I am following the list since some month and thanks to all the precious
indication and to the manuals I went to the following setup:
2Mbit internet---Cisco router
|
Switch--trasparent proxy server
|
bridge/firewallinh/htb2+sqf linux box
|
switch--- wireless and dialup clients
|
network servers
the linux box uses redhat 7.2 with 2.4.18 kernel patched with htb 2 + bridge
firewalling, i have 60 htb classes (from 64 to 512 kbit)each with sqf leaf and
I am using U32 filter to select source, destination or port.I also have some
firewalling iptables rules. I tested the setup for 15 days and then put it in
production enviroment since it was very urgent for me. I am very happy with the
erformance and it seems to be rock solid. I read something about htb3 and the
new aproachso I was thinking to swithch to htb3.
Daes somebody have some results about htb3 stability in production?
In what shall I expect improvement? Somebody out there did the same thing?
Thanks in advance to all the list... I''ve learned a lot from it :-D

Somebody out there did the same thing?You can stay with versio 2 if you are ok. The main difference in htb3 is speed and ability to handle large number of classes. Qualitative parameters should be the same. devik
