Hi all, I was wondering why I cannot get the kernel's network traffic shaper to work.
It is compiled as a module in the kernel and seems to be initalising correctly. I have installed the shapecfg deb, (I assume this is for the 2.2 kernel's, not AC's backport to 2.0.*) I have tried many permutations of the following in my /etc/init.d/network ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} [ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1 shapecfg attach shaper0 eth0 shapecfg speed shaper0 16000 ifconfig shaper0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} up #route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} dev shaper0 I commented out the last route add... line as I understand that ifconfig now brings up the route (on potato) and I loose all packet's if I don't. route -n also shows that shaper0 is there. With this setup, the ifconfig output shows the traffic still going through eth0, and the speed is still running at 500kB/s. Thanks for any help, Mark.
