But surely HTB is overkill for simply limiting bandwidth and keeping the queue on Linux and not in the modem no? In my followup message on this subject, I used TBF instead. I don't want to classify bandwidth usage, just prevent the queing on the modem. > I haven't looked at the code, but I think it's just a plain fifo queue, Indeed, but if multiple users are trying to stuff packets in, it will be more or less evenly distributed when they come out, no? How can a single user monopolize a FIFO given that there are other users making equal demands of it? > unless you attach SFQ or similar to replace it. Which I did in my follow example BTW. b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J. Murrell
