This is somewhat related to the other post I posted earlier today.

I would like to prioritize traffic using Shorewall running Bering uClibc
2.3x as follows:

1) video-conferencing
2) normal traffic
3) P2P sharing

We are a publishing company specializing in American Sign Language and Deaf
culture products. Thus we utilize video cams as our means of communication
with our authors and customers. Thus I must prioritize video packets in
order to ensure timely delivery of video packets. However, my familiarity
isn't great with TCP/IP priorization scheme and I suspect this is the place
to ask.

Looking at the default tcclasses file:

#INTERFACE      MARK    RATE            CEIL        PRIORITY    OPTIONS
ppp0            1       full            full            1
tcp-ack,tos-minimize-delay
ppp0            2       9*full/10       9*full/10       2       default
ppp0            3       8*full/10       8*full/10       2 

...and the default tcrules file:

#MARK SOURCE    DEST      PROTO  PORT(S) CLIENT  USER
#                                        PORT(S)
1:P   0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 icmp   echo-request 
1:P   0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 icmp   echo-reply 
# mark traffic which should have a lower priority with a 3: 
# mldonkey 
3     0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp -  4666

Does the #1 rule in tcrules satisfy the requirement for prioritizing video
packets? Or do I have to create new rules pointing to appropriate ports used
in video communications?
