LARTC - Mar 2004 - ingress QoS

Hello guys,

Setup: 	iptables 1.2.9 (patch-o-matic not used)
       	linux 2.4.25 (gentoo vanilla, everything needed compiled in)
	eth1 -> pppoe (ppp0)
	eth0

Goal:	Fair queuing of incomming traffic

Story:

since I''ve failed to use IMQ with iptables 1.2.9 and linux 2.4.25,
I''ve tried to attach a HTB qdisc to eth0 with a root of 100mbit
and classes with rates of 100mbit and DSL downlink speed (768 kbit).
The downlink class I divided into important traffic (700 kbit) and 
bulk (68 kbit) - both got HTB qdiscs.
The router packets with source 10.0.0.1 end up in the 100mbit queue, but
I have to set this rule to prio 1 otherwise the bulk rule (src 0.0.0.0/0)
will take place.

Everything is working fine so far.

Since I wanted to speed up browsing while having other downloads,
packets with sport 80 are queued in the important queue.
Also I wanted to be very smart and use a transparent squid.
But then I thought twice and realized, that packets with sport 80 end up
in squid (except it was a direct connection), thus the packets are queued 
different.

Question is now: do I also have to add qdiscs to device lo, or how can I
queue the router''s incomming traffic for routers''s local
processes.
If I have to add qdiscs for lo, what would be the bandwidth?
And, would that be clever in general?

If someone is interessted in the script, drop a note.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

What failed - my 2.4.24 setup may work I''ll try 25 soon.

You need to set limits to 80% or less - depending on number of tcps and 
how much you care about latency.

If what you want to do is controll/share incoming DSL bandwidth for 
local and forwarded traffic you need to put IMQ on ppp0. I guess you 
don''t need to throttle/priorotise squid to the LAN for stuff
that''s
cached, but do when it''s getting stuff from the net.
