Hi All There is a little bit in the archive about shorewall and IMQ. http://www.mail-archive.com/shorewall- [email protected]/msg08109.html Where Pablo gave a bit of info about putting the bits needed into the init script and and the shorewall start and stop files
The same site that I will be converting to shorewall currently runs a brute force ingress script using IMQ. It basically just throws away packets if the exceed a configured bandwidth. It also gives a bit of priority to ssh, https, vnc and nagios traffic and really works well. I used the howto at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/ADSL-Bandwidth-Management-HOWTO/ plus a few extra tweaks. What are the chances of keeping my IMQ stuff? Okay I know that IMQ is not in the kernel or in iptables either and both need to be patched. Even with Gentoo emerge this is quite easy with iptables. I just manually run ebuild IMQ has had it's ups and downs but the dev guys seem quite on the ball currently. Patches for the latest 3.1.x kernel as well as the latest iptables. Only reason I seem to have read a few years back was a personality clash that resulted in IMQ becoming a black sheep. Black sheep or not it works like a wiz.
