Hi! I was not saying that inbound traffic shaping did not work just that it is not sane to use inbound shaping when you have a xDSL/cable I-net connection. The reason is simple, you don’t have anything to do with your inbound traffic unless you are ISP... limiting inbound traffic will not achieve anything unless you have control of the edge routers which you normally don’t. I don’t expect that this note will explain everything to you but don’t use inbound shaping =) /Dennis -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Jose Iadicicco [mailto:joseiadicicco at yahoo dot com] Skickat: den 24 april 2004 20:36 Till: Adam Nellemann Kopia: Dennis Wallberg; m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch Ämne: Re: [m0n0wall] Re: m0n0 - traffic_shaper Hi all you guys! Why you sayed that traffic shapper for inbound traffic doesn´t work? I configured the traffic shaper for inbound traffic and outbound traffic and it works so fine! I limited the downstream to 64 Kbits and the upstream to 32 Kbits and it works okey too. I dont understand you guys. Can you explain me what are you talking about? My internet connection is 512 kbits upstream and 128 kbits downstream (ADSL) and I have 12 computers of different people using Kazaa, Emule, etc etc in each computer, without any control of each computer, but its working okey since 4 months ago when I configured the traffic shaper.
