First, I don't object to doing it. I object it doing it in the wrong place (and hence mixing up two separate operations into one amorphous blob) and in the wrong way (based on address alone, instead of address *and* port). And I object to ignoring majority consensus as well as ownership. Mark

Philip... Not sure that I understand why you object so strongly... why is it not okay to designate a specific host IP as being low priority when it is okay to designate by port number? On Sun, Dec 12, 2010 at 2:07 PM, Philip Prindeville < [email protected]> wrote: > Classifica

Classification and shaping are separate functions, and as such Arno and I agree these should be separate plugins. If Lonnie wants to combine them in Astlinux then that's his prerogative, but making this change upstream to my plugin without asking me is egregious and not consistent with ownershi

Hi David, Good question. To be clear, the traffic shaper plugin only effects traffic traversing the external interface, it has no effect on local to local traffic. Given that, you pose an interesting idea, such as adding a traffic shaper config variable like SHAPER_P2P_LOCAL_HOSTS="", while doa

2010-12-01 Thread David Kerr
I've been looking at the traffic shaper plugin hoping to improve performance of my WAN connection. I can see how to configure it to prioritize traffic by port number, but is there a way to have it prioritize by IP address? What I want to do is designate a particular device inside my LAN as having
