For ingress - yes, but not quite correct. No you cant directly control the QoS on someone elses interface, but you can do something none the less. There is a queue on the interface facing you (and if an ISP is quite likely been made very large) - then when you get a lot of packets coming in such as when you have an ftp session going it will queue everything. The trick is to force the other end to keep a minimal queue buffer by using a "police" filter. It drops packets to keep the buffer to a small size thus helping latency and minimising the effects a large buffer has on your traffic. The queue is to help the other end manage their flows - not yours! - so policing helps you!
Tricky, but it appears to work. BillK On Fri, 2010-07-30 at 12:29 -0600, Tim Densmore wrote: > There's no real way of shaping or applying QoS on inbound interfaces > on any device.
