We are using the shaper module (shaper.o) from the 2.2 kernel with the debian shaper package for quite a while now and we are satisfied. We only perform simple shaping, the outgoing(!) traffic from one or more network adapters is limited. It's staightforward in its use: For an adapter (eth1, 64Kbit): shapecfg attach shaper0 eth1 shapecfg speed shaper0 64000 ifconfig shaper0 myhost netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast 1.2.3.4.255 up route add -net some.network netmask a.b.c.d dev shaper0 Hope this helps, Bob van der Kamp Kern Automatiseringsdiensten > > Any insight is welcome. > > ..Craig > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
