Hi all I would like to implement QoS using the HTB utility. My network might get increased to around 3000 clients. I would like to know is there any limitation in using HTB for a network like this ? Can I move ahead in configuring the same ? Is there any other similar possible methods thru which I can achieve this ? I need to assign shared and dedicated bandwidth to our customers. Can I do Qos (shared and dedicated) for individual (3000 approx.) IP''s separately ? Will there be any performance issues in real time ? Please help. regards Vinu. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/

Fast CPU and enough memory will help.> Can I do Qos (shared and dedicated) for individual (3000 approx.)

Hi Thank you very much for the replies. I''ve heared that tc rules can be directly executed for each class (Please correct me if I''m wrong) instead of creating the HTB files in /etc/sysconfig/htb/. Which method is preferable. Right now I''m doing QoS for a pool of 254 IP''s, for which I''ve written separate 254 class files in /etc/sysconfig/htb, including the interface (eth0) and root class. Is this the right method ? If I can move ahead with the same setup, and create files for 3000 IP''s will there be any sort of issues. Please suggest me. Thank you regards Vinoos.

Are the files parsed and used to execute the needed tc commands to setup htb?
