Prioritizing Quake packets

Prioritizing Quake packets

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 452 bytes --]

I'm running a firewall that's connected to a cable modem. The users
behind this are running some filesharing programs and sometimes Quake. I
want to prioritize all the Quake packets so that my ping doesn't
skyrocket when someone is downloading from me in Kazaa.

 

I was able to figure out how to run NAT and packet filtering, so I just
need to know 1) if this is possible at all and 2) which general area of
the docs should I look at.

You are looking for http://lartc.org to shape traffic/bandwidth. You can use iptables to also mark packets which `tc` can shape on.
This question is asked many times and there's alot of docs on the web about it. best try the url and some googling.
 

Thanks,
