Thanks to all the content from the archives and the HOWTO, I''ve got a
QoS
bridge running, based off the Dante script

While we are experiencing a marked improvement in Citrix consistency, I
still feel there is room for improvement. Citrix sends a LOT of small
packets. It is basically a very thin stream. The only thing I can really
see benefitting us more would be to break up large packets so that Citrix
packets don''t wait for large packets to complete sending. We also run
H323, and QoS has helped immensely in eliminating dropped packets and
interference between H323 and the more important (lower priority) Citrix
class.
Would lowering the MTU size be safe in order to force packets to be
fragmented? What kind of negative impacts should I expect / look for with
this? I''m not sure what the packet size our H323 units use... I guess I
could use Ethereal to check it out. May depend on settings as well.
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks!
