First step is to go to http://www.shorewall.net/traffic_shaping.htm, which I note has been updated since I last looked at it. There is an example of how to configure an equivalent of "Wondershaper" on that page - all you have to do is fill in the interface names and speeds to get it working. Unless you have some specific requirement (in which case feel free to ask more), I would suggest that you just start with Wondershaper as that will give you a fairly easy system to manage with some useful gains. If you do need more than that, then you WILL have to learn and understand TC I'm afraid - it's non-trivial but neccessary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
