[LARTC] Default Class

[LARTC] Default Class

[Chijioke Kalu]

Hi all,

In my script, i assigned specific ip's to set classes, and assume by default 
any other ip not matching my list of ips falls into the default class.  
Consequently ave had occasions whenever systems that have ip's which am sure 
fall into the default class,  are in use, traffic tends to get congested on 
"normal" classes...

NB. my default class has the lowest priority

1. Is this meant to be so, if not how can i correct it?

2. Is it possible to know the sort of traffic passing thru the default 
class?  If possible improve the rate of other classes by matching important 
traffic back to a higher priority class.

3. Can I also match by mac-addresses?

TIA

K

I suppose you use htb ....

It's not meant to be like that.

No.  Default class is used after all other filters are checked.

Yes : iptables + fw filter.

Made some corrections, added another class, and any ip not matched is 
directed there...
so even when the ëxtra non classified ips are in use, ave seen some 
improvements in the browsing speed ;)

now to get squid and tc working in tandem...

bust...
