Subject: [LARTC] Shaping traffic on heavily oversubscribed links?
Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2004 09:17:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41A5A31B.8010901@expertron.co.za> (raw)

Hi all,

I am having some fun with traffic shaping, and have run into an 
interesting situation.  Here is South Africa, most internet links are 
heavily oversubscribed, which means that in most cases the local link is 
_not_ the bottleneck, and shaping on the local link does not help that 
much...

Does anybody have some tips on shaping such links?  How can you get 
interractive traffic if you don't know how much bandwidth to reserve for 
it? How can you give fair access to a link if you don't know what the 
link capacity is?

Are there perhaps some tools to monitor retransmissions to try and 
determine congestion levels, and from that adjust shaped bandwidth?

Am I perhaps missing something simple in this scenario?

Thanks!
-justin
