Subject: [LARTC] Filter for large packets?
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2003 09:43:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-lartc-104340156315484@msgid-missing> (raw)

Hi,

i am using the wondershaper script on a DSL-router-firewall combination 
for several LAN clients. My Problem is that the port based filter rules 
dont match bulk traffic satisfyingly, because many file sharing programs 
allow to use custom ports. Usually a few connections that is not 
recognized as bulk are enough to fill up the 1:20 queue and slow down 
www and other normal traffic. Can anyone tell me a filter rule that 
matches Packets greater that a certain number of bytes. I think 
classifying outgoing packets > 512 or 1024 bytes as bulk should help 
here. Do you think this is a good idea, or am i missing something?

What would be a good size threshold to separate normal from bulk traffic?

regards,
Simon
