shaping traffic

Dear all,

I have set up a 486 as router with RedHat. I have compiled the kernel
with QoS support.

I have a switch connected to the LAN interface of the router and three
PCs connected to that switch. Two of them are Windows 2000 Workstations
and the other a linux web server. I am still in the installation process
so I havent got all the cables and all the workstations and servers set
up.

A friend of mine gave me a script to shape the inbound traffic for the
linux server, that way I could limit the inbound traffic to the web
server and I could ssh the linux box with a better latency...

What I am wondering is how I could shape the traffic in the same way in
the linux router, that way I could ssh the linux server from the
Internet to the LAN (through NAT) and be downloading my e-mail or any
stuff from the Windows Workstations at the same time with a low
latency...

Any hints? I am new into this shapping things...

Many thanks in advance and sorry for my English...

Miguel

Check this page: http://www.lartc.org/
In the howto explains the queueing disciplines for bandwidth management=

on linux, and other very interesting topics.
There is also an spanish version of the howto :)

Also take a look at this page: http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/
The home page of HTB queueing discipline. It's like CBQ but I read over=
=20
there, that it's better in certain way, and I'm using it to make the Qo=
S=20
test on my linux box.

Also you will find very interesting information in this page:=20
http://www.docum.org/

=46or an easy start check the scripts CBQ.init and HTB.init at sourcefo=
rge.

Saludos!
