As I write in the Warning at the top of the Shorewall Traffic Shaping documentation, you cannot expect to understand Traffic Shaping by simply reading the Shorewall documentation. Shorewall adds very little value over the raw traffic shaping configuration interface using the 'ip' and 'tc' utilities other than it allows you to avoid the tedious syntax. I recommend that you read the other documents linked from that warning. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
