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? ~Doug _______________________________________ «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?» ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Doug Sampson Information Technology Dawn Sign Press dougs (at) dawnsign dot com _______________________________________ «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?» ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
