Hi Stef, Reffering to page < http://www.docum.org/stef.coene/qos/faq/cache/7.html > I found a para as follows, " CBQ is not always as accurate as it should be. See docum.org on the test page for some tests with bounded classes. The algorithm used by cbq is very "link sensitive". It calculates the link idle time and for that it needs the real link bandwidth, average packet size and some other parameters. But there calculations are not always accurate.

If you want to limit all traffic to the link bandwidth, you have to create a class that''s bounded and with rate = link bandwidth. You can create non-bounded sub classes but the bandwidth will be limit by the bounded class to the link bandwidth.

My eth1 > ethernet device bandwidth is 100Mbits.What bout this : for all cbq commands : bandwidth 100mbit eth0 cbq qdisc cbq class rate = 512kbit, bounded cbq class 1, rate < 512kbit cbq class ..., rate < 512kbit cbq class x, rate < 512kbit So all traffic from class 1 ... x togehter is bounded to 512kbit. eth1 cbq qdisc cbq class rate = 100mbit, bounded cbq class 1, rate 512kbit bounded cbq class 10, rate < 512kbit cbq class ..., rate < 512kbit cbq class x, rate < 512kbit cbq class 2, rate 99,5Mbit cbq class 20, rate < 99,5Mbit cbq class ..., rate < 99,5Mbit cbq class x, rate < 99,5Mbit Class 1 is for all traffic from internet -> LAN Class 2 is for all traffic from shaper -> LAN And if you really want to be sure it''s working, you should take 500kbit. So YOU are the bottleneck and in control of the link and not the modem.

Why not ? I didn''t knew your incoming and outgoing rates so I just took 512kbit for incoming and outgoing.

How to configure htb or how to get these numbers from you ISP?

And there is no way you can find this. You can try to upload / download a file to / from a fast ftp server and monitor the bandwidth you get, but that''s not very accurate. Even if you don''t know the bandwidth, you can shape the traffic.
