[LARTC] Help with traffic control (HTB ESFQ RED)

[Edgar <donvodka@gmail.com>]

Hello, there's a problem I've had for several months now, and I've never 
been able to find an answer to it. I'll try to explain as quick as possible:

    I have a server that controlls my home network, it provides internet 
to them also (NAT) and I would like to provide QoS by shaping traffic. I 
have a p2p server here (running mldonkey), since only that machine is 
serving p2p and anyone can connect to it to download linux distros ( :) 
) my attemp here was to limit bandwidth for that machine. I've partially 
done this, I've written some HTB rules and I've nested ESFQ leafs within 
htb classes. At first it seems like it works, but then two problems 
arise: 1) Web latency (partially solved by increasing burst size, but 
still happens) and 2) download seems affected a lot in the p2p server.
   
    I believe HTB is doing it's work, but the one that is failing to do 
so correctly is ESFQ, since I see upload limitted to the rate I specify. 
I'm using ESFQ since it can control traffic by ip, instead of doing it 
by flows (like classic sfq). I tried using RED too, but I haven't been 
able to find much documentation for it, so I guess I might be doing RED 
stuff wrong (I'll include my RED rule too, in case anyone can help with 
it). So I'll post the script I'm using to shape traffic, hope you ppl 
can help me out.

### Modify $DEV's queue and MTU ###
ip link set dev $DEV qlen 50
ip link set dev $DEV mtu 1500

### iptables mangle table cleanup ###
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -t mangle -X

## ROOT QDISC cleanup in $DEV
tc qdisc del dev $DEV root 2> /dev/null > /dev/null
tc qdisc del dev $DEV ingress 2> /dev/null > /dev/null
#tc qdisc del dev $HDEV root 2> /dev/null > /dev/null
