With Kernel 2.2 it seems that rshaper would work but reading Linux 2.4 Advanced Routing How-To is leading me to think that CBQ might be the answer. Now I see that there HTB may be prefered to CBQ. So in trying to work out the correct tree to bark up, any ideas whether the my idea would work and which method HTB/CBQ would be the best?
