Hello, From a user perspective, the simple (tcpri) and complex TC configs offers two rather distinct choices. A user can very well be OK with only using the simple way and that''s very fine. Then again, even in doing so, the more complex config options are available. What is the interplay between the two as far as having some parameter...

Shorewall 4.5.5.2 is now available for download. Problems Corrected: 1) Previously, when ipp2p was used in the /etc/shorewall/tcpri file, the generated code for saving the packet mark was clearing the connection marks fields not having to do with traffic shaping. It now only alters the traffic-shaping part of the connection mark. 2) Shorewall 4.4.11 allowed UID and GID ranges to be specified in the USER:GR...

Shorewall 4.4.19.4 is now available. Problems corrected in this update: 1) Previously, the compiler would allow a degenerate entry (only the BAND specified) in /etc/shorewall/tcpri. Such an entry now raises a compilation error. 2) Previously, it was possible to specify tcfilters and tcrules that classified traffic with the class-id of a non-leaf HFSC class. Such classes are not capabable of handling packets. Shorewall now generates a compile-time warning in...

...L E A S E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) When TC_ENABLED=Simple, ACK packets are now placed in the highest priority class. An ACK packet is a TCP packet with the ACK flag set and no data payload. Rationale: Entries in /etc/shorewall[6]/tcpri affect both incoming and outgoing connections. If a particular application, SMTP for example, is placed in priority class 3, then outgoing ACK packets for incoming email were previously placed in priority class 3 as well. This could have the effect of slowing down incoming mail when...
