I'm relatively new to altq and have a (probably simple) question. I would like to perform the following: Multiple groups with different base rates; say the level 1 group will allow you a base rate of 128k and 5Mb of queuing. The first 5Mb you download would be at 3Mb, after that the speed would drop to 128k. Here is the twist. Let's say you download 4Mb out of your queue and then you continue to use around 56k constantly (obviously this would fluctuate). The queue would then build back to the 5Mb at the rate of the difference between your base rate (128k) and what you are using (56k). So in our example we would be charging our queue at 56k.
I can get basic traffic shaping working based on other criteria, but this is something different and I don't have the experience with QoS to know if it is feasable. I'm going to delve into the howto and docs but if anyone here has done or knows if this is doable that would save me a great deal of time. Thanks, nb
