<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thanks for the info. Very
interesting read. I forgot to mention in the post that I am still
relatively new to traffic shaping with Linux but was still able to more than
comprehend the info in that document. Many thanks again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>One thing that I am slightly
uncertain of though is that I would prefer not to divide the bandwidth between
x amount of people but rather designate a priority that packets take over each
other which that info doesn’t cover. Is it still possible using
HFSC to accomplish this?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Bandwidth ist important, but
VoIP needs more than this. Voice traffic needs low latency of packets.
That’s why traffic shaping maybe not lose your problem.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>in this a HFCS queuing descipline
is used instead of HTB, because this can separate between bandwidth and delay.

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear List,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am wanting to perform some traffic shaping as the subject
of this email suggests.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What I am wanting to do is this; I would like to have
traffic shaping performed on the following protocols: HTTP, RDP, GRE,
PPTP, SIP and IAX. Obviously I would like to have highest priority set
for voice packets so much so that the general http traffic does not impede on
the voice packets. I would like to have ample bandwidth available for RDP
so that I am able to connect to a remote site and not have too much lag but
ample enough that most tasks can be done. HTTP traffic would possibly
have the lowest priority of all the protocols that I have listed. So to
clarify priority would be something such as this:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a linux gateway that I will use for performing the
traffic shaping and is setup in the following way:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>
-------------
------------
---------<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>
| ADSL | <---------->

LAN |<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>
-------------
------------
---------<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I plan to have the ADSL router forward all traffic to the
linux gateway using something similar to a BIMAP rule where all incoming and
outgoing traffic is made to appear to come from the public IP address. I
welcome any and all suggestions but would possibly prefer the most elegant of
solutions <span style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
