Actually, the queue management works by distributing the bandwidth amongst the queues based on their respective weight. Picture this scenario; eight clients have been matched by the destionation mask (which in the m0n0wall is fixed at 0xffffffff, all destinations are matched and therefore all clients that even have an IP will get a queue of its own. This works regardless of what subnet you have on you LAN or elsewhere.) So these eight computers each have a queue with the weight of 1 each. In total that makes 1x8=8. So all computers will get 1/8 of the available bandwidth. It is worth noting however, that this only applies if ALL of these eight computers are actually in NEED of more bandwidth. If 7 of the computers are idle, the 8:th computer will get ALL the available bandwidth. But as soon as another computer tries to use the net there will be 2 active and 6 idle computers, and the two active computers will share ALL the bandwidth with 1/2 each. I think this gets a little out of the list topic, so if you need further help I suggest you direct it to me off the list =) |
