All,
With full knowledge that it's poor form to post "me too!" messages to a
list. Sorry... I simply can't help myself in this instance:
I must echo your thanks to Lonnie and the wonderful team of AstLinux
developers.

I thought I would reply to the list here with an update. Lonnie has
assisted me over the last 24 hours and provided a solution with the
traffic shaper plugin. Hopefully the feature will make it into a
future public version of AstLinux.
I wanted to add how truly impressed I am with the traffic shaper
plugin. It does a really really good job of managing traffic.
I'd also add my thanks to Lonnie who has provided two enhancements for
me over the last week with very fast turn around. The AstLinux
developer team is just great.
Thanks
David

Hi David,
Good question. To be clear, the traffic shaper plugin only effects
traffic traversing the external interface, it has no effect on
local to local traffic.
Given that, you pose an interesting idea, such as adding a traffic
shaper config variable like SHAPER_P2P_LOCAL_HOSTS="", while
doable it might offend the purists, let me consider that. Note
this would effect time sensitive protocols like NTP and such for
that IP address.
As a test, give this a try...
# remove t443
SHAPER_BULKDATA_PORTS="t20 t21 t25 t80 t110 t137:139 u137:139 t143
t465 t515 t993 t8080"
# add t443
SHAPER_P2P_PORTS="t443"
And describe any results (privately if you wish).

tell it to use all available bandwidth. When I do this other

everything else that uses https/ssl port 443.
