[LARTC] Priority LAN over ftp/web server?

[LARTC] Priority LAN over ftp/web server?

[gatur]

Hello all

Another newbie here :)

I have a linux box setup with two NICs
eth0 is 100mbit internal lan (192.168.100.*)
eth1 is 10mbit internet

On the linux box there is a ftp server and web server.
I want to somehow priority the traffic from the internal lan
over any traffic that is on the ftp and web server.

I want to be able to have low ping with telnet/ssh/irc/web/ftp and various
online games (quake and such) and at the same time let the ftp/web server
take whatever bandwidth that is available when the local network isnt
using any bandwidth.

Is there anyone who could give me some pointers as where to start?
I have checked out some scripts for adsl connections but to me it
looks like they reserve bandwidth for ssh type of services and other
services is unable to use the spare bandwidth when that is unused.

Some tips.  You can use htb to create different classes so the classes can use 
unused bandwidt from each other.  You have to do this twice : htb can only 
shape outgoing bandwidth.  Putting the traffic in the classes can be tricky, 
but www is easy to do.  ftp data is not so easy.

Check out www.docum.org, maybe the info on it can help you.
