As was suggested, HTB is your friend, with perhaps an SFQ or ESFQ attached. However, it's worth just ploughing on with the LARTC readme - at the end of that you will be an expert in the subject, and it only looks hard when you start (keep going and reread it). For scripts, I think that this one is by far the best starting point. It's got just about everything in, and although it's designed for a single user, I think with the help of LARTC you can modify it for your network, and the incoming part is really quite powerful http://digriz.org.uk/jdg-qos-script/ Good luck Ed W _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
