HI Simo,
Thanks for the info. Very interesting read. I forgot to mention in the post that I am still relatively new to traffic shaping with Linux but was still able to more than comprehend the info in that document. Many thanks again. One thing that I am slightly uncertain of though is that I would prefer not to divide the bandwidth between x amount of people but rather designate a priority that packets take over each other which that info doesn't cover. Is it still possible using HFSC to accomplish this?

Voice traffic needs low latency of packets. That's why traffic shaping maybe not lose your problem. in this a HFCS queuing descipline is used instead of HTB, because this can separate between bandwidth and delay. For more Information about this can you find here: http://linux-ip.net/articles/hfsc.en/ bye Simo Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Rangi Biddle Gesendet: Sonntag, 6. Mai 2007 22:15 An: [email protected] Betreff: [LARTC] Traffic Shaping Dear List, I am wanting to perform some traffic shaping as the subject of this email suggests. What I am wanting to do is this; I would like to have traffic shaping performed on the following protocols: HTTP, RDP, GRE, PPTP, SIP and IAX. Obviously I would like to have highest priority set for voice packets so much so that the general http traffic does not impede on the voice packets. I would like to have ample bandwidth available for RDP so that I am able to connect to a remote site and not have too much lag but ample enough that most tasks can be done. HTTP traffic would possibly have the lowest priority of all the protocols that I have listed. So to clarify priority would be something such as this: 1. IAX 2. SIP 3. GRE 4. PPTP 5. RDP 6. HTTP I have a linux gateway that I will use for performing the traffic shaping and is setup in the following way: ------------- ------------ --------- | ADSL | <----------> | LINUX | <----------> | LAN | ------------- ------------ --------- I plan to have the ADSL router forward all traffic to the linux gateway using something similar to a BIMAP rule where all incoming and outgoing traffic is made to appear to come from the public IP address. I welcome any and all suggestions but would possibly prefer the most elegant of solutions J Many thanks in advance Rangi
