I'm trying to shape a connection behind a NAT. I have done it already
using tc with htb. Now the problems is that I want to run Squid on the
same
machine, and also control de bandwidth but with htb so it can change
the bandwidth in real time. For the non-squid version of this, I'm using
iptables-mangle to mark packets and tc for the traffic control.
As squid is only for HTTP transactions, I decided to send through it
only the web traffic(excludind FTP and SSL), and limit the downstream with
HTB as in the non-squid version. But the
upstream is always uncontrolled since one only can control the packets
going out of the server and the uploading proccess seem to come from the
NAT-server since is there where squid is installed and squid doesn't make
any NAT at all. Is there a way to mark the packets squid sends
out so tc can control them also? Exists there another solution? Is the
web-cache server a bad solution into the QoS rage?
If something sounds stupid I apologize, since I'm a newbie.
Pity the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
