I think TBF itself does *not* seperate connections in a class, so new connections in the same class will not be prioritized. I presume only the first connection will receive a short burst time, but all other have to live with the slow rate. A possibility to attach a seperate TBF to each connection sounds attractive, but on the other hand, it would request much more processing power. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://ds9a.nl/2.4Routing/
