Our residence interface is assigned a /25 connected via 100Mbit ethernet, and our gateway to the internet is a modest 2Mbit uplink, which occupies another interface on the router. My requirement is to shape only Internet-bound traffic to the residence interface (1Mbit up/down), but not shape their traffic to our local network (that is, the to the other interfaces on that router). The documentation for traffic control is a bit daunting, but I'm willing to tackle it if someone can tell me if what I propose is possible. Further guidance and advice would also be greatly appreciated if you have attempted anything like this. Thanks, Jason. -- Academic Computing Support Specialist Assistant Section Editor Algoma University College http://linux.com/develop Sault Ste.
