Although I know Tom is not looking to do an overhaul of the tc system for some time, when and if that happens, I'd like to say that I am for this type of change. I have not yet started using the traffic shaping features, but when I setup Shorewall, I went ahead and configured it simply with very high values for the interfaces, so that it is effectively enabled but not configured to actually do anything. This is so when I want to enable the feature (which is probably soon, to help the VOIP service at home), I can easily go back and make the necessary configuration changes and hopefully it will work. Maybe this was a good way to go about it, and maybe it wasn't; only time will tell. However, since I am new to all but the utmost basics of traffic shaping, any types of "helper configurations" like Brian is talking about would be welcome, I think. Anyway, thanks for a great product, Shorewall has been running error-free for months now and is so quick and easy to use when I want to make some small change or other to the setup.
