It doesn't exist any bytelimit. If you are refering to the quota-module it's not the same. The quota module runs out of bytes and won't let any packets through anymore. Look into CBS (As other mail said) or the new HTB which is much better: http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/htbman.htm -- /Gozem A.K.A. Joakim Axelsson
