LARTC - Mar 2006 - Detect and mark ''bulk'' http traffic

To give fast web browsing on my network, I prioritise http traffic by marking it
all into a high priority band (''30''). This generally works
quite well, as
unidentified traffic such as p2p falls by default into a lower priority band
(''40'').

However, I would like to de-prioritise anyone doing large downloads over http,
which currently get high priority. Is there a way I can mark a connection
differently (ie into band ''40'') once it has got over a certain
threshold of
date transfer?

Thanks,

Andy

If you use netfilter you can use connbytes for this.
