Re: [LARTC] HOW CAN I PRIORITIZE THE ICMP PACKETS

[Alexandra Alvarado <aaaa@telconet.net>]

Well, 

I work for an ISP Company that sells the Internet Service to a Cybers,
in each cybers we install a linux firewall with 2 network cards between
the internet and the intranet, and the clients says the the conection
has a problem because they execute a ping since an intranet machine
[inside the firewall] to our MAIN ROUTER [out of my firewall] and they
obtain as results "time out" or "times in seconds and must be in micro
seconds or miliseconds".

Obviously this occur when I configure the cbq [64Kbit], when i turn cbq
off all is ok, BUT I NEED CONTROL THE BANDWITH all traffic minus the
ping service.

That is the reason why I need that the ping service not be controlled
[or be prioritized], FOR THE CLIENTS, can you give me a good example for
that? :)

Thanks

Alexandra
