In my search to control bandwidth on my network I found 2 projects.. 1. TC 2. BWM Tools - http://freshmeat.net/projects/bwmtools/ This brings me to 2 questions... Firstly, can TC control bandwidth in both directions? I read that it can only do 1 direction, which one I cant remember. Can you monitor the load on the queues you define? Does TC support IPv6? Secondly, BWM Tools seems to queue traffic to userspace and use some kind of kernel module to allow it through or not. How efficient is bandwidth control using ip queing to userspace? BWM Tools doesn''t seem to support IPv6 :( If anyone else knows of a way I can shape traffic, please let me know.

If you have 2 network cards, you can shape in bothe directions. But it can also throtlle incoming traffic if you want (this is not so powerfull as shaping outgoing traffic).> I read that it > can only do 1 direction, which one I cant remember.Outgoing.> Can you monitor > the load on the queues you define?Yes, with external scripting.> Does TC support IPv6?Yes (I think)> Secondly, BWM Tools seems to queue traffic to userspace and use some > kind of kernel module to allow it through or not.
