Hi all.

Here''s the situation

Linux box with eth0 connected to LAN, and eth1 connected to internet via
cablemodem.

Connected to the lan are some voip devices, ive configured htb in eth1 to
save some bandwith for the voip devices. Now i have another issue, at some
hours of the days, some servers in the lan downloads data from other servers
in internet and they use all bandwith available.

My question is the following.

Applying some classes to eth0 is a good way to reserve some bandwith for the
traffic that comes from internet to the voip devices?

I mean, is this a good way to manage the "download" traffic?

Thanks and best regards
