A couple questions on Traffic Shaping. I thought I would start with the Wizard and keep the Wizard's small packet rules, then add my unique services (Vonage VOIP and Teamspeak voice over IP) to the rule list, more or less. After running the Wizard and examining the resulting small-packet rules, I wonder why the small packets are assigned to queues taking 60% of a relatively large pipe? I'm not a networking expert, but "small packets" wouldn't contain much data so wouldn't a dedicated "small" queue be appropriate? I know it depends how big the pipe is. :) In my case its Comcast actual 5120 mbps down/350 mbps up. Second question: I've got a Teamspeak server and VOIP. Although they both need dedicated bandwidth to avoid voice breakup, the likelihood of both being used at the same time is low but not totally unlikely. Which of the following options is best? 1. Share a queue between these two services (Voip and Teamspeak assigned to the same ~50% queue) 2. Create two queues that are both 50% sized, resulting in my total queues totaling 150% (is this bad?). 3. Use a mask assigned to a 50% queue with both VOIP and Teamspeak in that queue. Does a mask give all the bandwidth to one service if its the only one currently in use? Sorry if my terminology isn't correct. I'm a recent convert from IPCop to M0n0wall. |
