Sure, that's possible. That's one 600kbit class with three child classes. However, there may be many other ports besides 25, 80, and 110 that deserve prioritizing. Throwing them in the same class as all filesharing traffic could make things even worse than before. Then there's the problem that many filesharing protocols can work on any port, so your users could just move to one of the prioritized ports and take all the bandwidth again. That's some of the reasons why I never bothered with prioritizing ports on a global basis. Consider using ipp2p or l7-filter for a more reliable way for detecting P2P traffic. No matter how you look at it, 600kbit for 20 users is a bit slow. Even without P2P traffic, if all of them surf the web at the same time, they won't be very happy with the speed. Besides traffic shaping, you should do anything possible to reduce load. Cache DNS queries, provide a HTTP proxy, probably squid. Make sure that you can't be flooded from the outside. Stuff like that. HTH Andreas _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
