[LARTC] Detect and mark 'bulk' http traffic

2006-03-15 Thread Andrew Beverley
To give fast web browsing on my network, I prioritise http traffic by marking it all into a high priority band ('30'). This generally works quite well, as unidentified traffic such as p2p falls by default into a lower priority band ('40'). However, I would like to de-prioritise anyone doing large

Whenever I add or remove a DNAT rule such as: iptables -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1 there is sometimes a delay before the correct nat'ing is done. Can anyone tell me why this is? Is it something to do with caching of routing tables? If so, is there a way
