I'll test priority queuing first, as Bob recommands. Nicolas. -- --- OxStOnE -- O - Z750 Linux --- ._ /\_ --- Powered -- (x) (x)

I wonder what's the best traffic shapping method available? Is it Class Based Queuing or Priority Queueing. My goal is to allow browsing the internet since local computers, while my DMZ-ed servers consume a lot of my upload bandwith. Right now, without traffic shapping, it's almost impossible to browse the internet while my servers receive a lot of queries (mail, www, ftp...). Priority Queueing is only based on priorities. If you want to attribute parts of the total bandwidth (root queue's) and do traffic shapping, you have to use a scheduler (e.g. CBQ, HSRP...) -- Alexandre Anriot [EMAIL PROTECTED]
