Yes, that's clear to me (well, quite :)), but I read about the=20 limitations of the ingress qdisc and that using a virtual imq device=20 would give me the power to use classes even on incoming traffic. I just wanted to be sure not to be doing something stupid <:) So there's nothing wrong with my thinking? What comes in from the WWW, I can shape on my inner NIC, and what leaves=20 to the router/WWW, I can shape on the outer one? What happens with all the traffic coming in on my inner NIC from my LAN=20 that gets delayed/shaped in order to leave on my outer NIC? Will my inner NIC drop it, or will my Linux-router collect more and more=20 packets, swell up to giant size and explode? :) Thanks for any answer, Bj=F6rn _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
