[Keith has a homebrew PTP node, not our standard firmware kit] You can only throttle outbound traffic, you have no control over the order of what is sent to you. Our experience is that you really only notice other people's traffic when you have a bufferbloat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat latency problem on the outbound queue, which "feels" slow because your transmissions are having to wait in a long line to get out. So, look for upstream saturation. Graphing the traffic volumes in something like Cacti or Munin can help diagnosing the problem. Other tools like iftop can help figure out where the traffic is coming from. Running a modern kernel with CoDeL can help too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoDel -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
