I'd like to prioritise that traffic on them from their other network traffic, but I don't want to think in terms of necessarily fixing bandwidths; I just want the inter-server communication to go out first if there's a backlog. I could decide, I guess, what the minimum level of service for other client machines is (say, 5Mbit) and set up two queues -- both unbounded -- one for inter-server, one for clients, but with a higher priority on the server queue. Would this work as I expect it to? -- Michael T.
