Ah ok, I found the SYN flood example in the HOWTO. :) But that seems to work by dropping packets rather than queueing them, which is not so good if your bandwidth is very limited (modem dialup). > It would be nice to be able to attach every qdisc to incoming interface > but it is not possible.

Because some of the traffic is for this box (doesn't go out) and I don't want it to ``steal' all the bandwidth from traffic that is forwarded through the box. Also, the traffic is mostly asymmetric, lots of data coming in and only ACKs going out. > On your virtual-host note.

Hmm, lack of time is a universal problem me thinks... ;) -- Manfred _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://ds9a.nl/2.4Routing/
