Hi, I'm setting up traffic shaping with shorewall, and I have one question about the ceil values to set in tcclasses.
The outgoing interface is defined like this in tcdevices: $IF_NET 4000kbit 4000kbit I've done some tests with http and https downloads to check that all is working fine, and encountered a problem when setting the ceil to "full": #tcclasses #https $IF_NET 7 1232kbit full 7 #http $IF_NET 8 512kbit full 7 The problem is that the first download started takes all the bandwidth, and the second one doesn't even start. I guess the first download takes all the bandwidth and the second download cannot be started. So I tried with a ceil of full*9/10, and that works fine except when other services also use bandwidth, and that the 90% of full of the first download + the bandwidth used by other services saturate the link: in these circumstances, the second download doesn't start either (or stalls after about 100K were downloaded). If my understanding of the situation is correct (link saturated), what is the advised solution to assign the maximum bandwidth without blocking new connections for another service?
