No, it just means that there will be no ingress policing - that may or may not be what you want. The reason for ingress policing is to keep the total throughput very slightly lower than the link will handle to prevent the upstream buffer filling and creating latency. The ONLY way it can do that is to drop packets so that the TCP stacks on each end of the connection(s) will detect congestion and back-off. As the documentation says (you HAVE read the Linux Advanced Routing Howto haven't you ?) it is very crude but does work. If you are not concerned with latency on your connection while downloading then you probably shouldn't be using traffic control at all. If you are, then it's well worth tuning your traffic rates to make it effective. At work our link utilisation has recently gone up to the point where our VoIP was suffering, and web hosting was suffering from the effects of large mailshots. Adding tc has solved both problems, and just took a little tuning to get our actual link speeds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
