Re: [LARTC] Spill over

You can't split a particular IP connection between two links, but can instead only determine which link a particular connection will occur on.  Given this, it sounds like you want to have some way to detect that Link A is already saturated and then send all further connections to Link B unti

I was able to do some further testing today with a full crew of players on my game servers. I cleaned up my script a bit to make it easier to modify the MPU and OVERHEAD, and also added both settings to the root class for completeness sake (not sure that matters at all). I'll include the final

I'm running some tests as you suggested. I'll have to wait til there are more players on my servers again before I can get some more accurate results, but preliminary tests show that 1) the overhead setting is quite significant and 2) my overhead value of 24 is a bit too low. With overhead set

I know there is that handy patch available to very efficiently use ATM bandwidth, but I was wondering what the best values to use with a non-patched iproute2 would be. Anyone here care to check my logic in coming up with these numbers and perhaps suggest better values? My transmit speed is 768

Re: [LARTC] IMQ: why do I need IMQ ?

In the case where you have a router (that is not generating signficant traffic itself) with one internet facing interface and one LAN facing interface, you really don't need IMQ. It becomes very useful in alternate cases where, for example, you have multiple interfaces facing the internet (eg,
