Is there a way to force gtkg to always make connections *from* a specified port in addition to listening on the configured port? (or 2 ports, or whatever).
I'm playing with some funky traffic shaping rules, and I'd like to be able to guarantee gtkg a minimum download bandwidth. Problem is I can only mark packets from remote initiated connections as all the locally initiated ones come from random source ports. Background : I run linux systems. Linux has great outbound shaping via htb/tc, but useless inbound shaping. To prevent a runaway p2p download blowing my monthly quota, I run all my p2p stuff inside a single kvm virtual machine, bound to a tap interface. This allows me to shape the data on the tap interface using htb/tc and gives me great control over the bandwidth used by my p2p. Now, I run torrents and gtkg in the same VM. Most of the gnutella stuff I want has 1 or maybe 2 slow peers, whereas the torrents have lots of fast ones. Thus I get 1 or 2 connections on gtkg and 4-500 on the torrents. When you squirt that through the shaper, you get a proportion of very little through to gtkg. I can split the shaper up any way I like, so if I can mark the packets to/from gtkg with tc filter rules, I can guarantee a chunk of bandwidth for them and they won't get swamped by torrents with lots of peers. The easiest way to mark them is based on source/dest addresses.. thus my question.
