Re: [LARTC] Weighted packet shaping?

["Mark Williams (MWP)" <mwp@internode.on.net>]

Ok.

My Linux (which is connected to the ADLS modem) box runs HTTP, FTP, etc services and also runs bittorrent, edonkey,
etc.
I have two other PCs (both windows) which connect to the internet via the Linux
box (MASQ).

Now, i want data like SSH, ICMP, DNS from any source to ppp0 to get top priority.
I want the two windows PCs to get 2nd priority.
I want services to get 3rd, and the rest (torrents, etc) to get the lowest
priority.

I have this setup atm using HTB and SFQ.

Now this is what happens:
I have bittorrent going as fast as possible outbound.
I then use my linux box to send FTP data over the same link.

Im finding that packet shaping is splitting the outbound bandwidth (256kbit)
equally between the two.

This is not what im after...  want the windows box to take more bandwidth off
bittorrent than 50% like it is atm.

Does this explain my problem better?

Thanks!
