Description: Traffic Shaper init script for Linux
This init script sets up traffic shaping using Linux's class-based
queueing.
This can be used to build smart bandwidth shapers which understand
TCP/IP.
See /usr/share/doc/shaper/README.shaper.gz for more details.
.
The kernel support needed to use either of these facilities is described
in
README.Debian.
Unless its been updated in the last few weeks, you need to download the
latest CBQ.init and put that in /etc/init.d/shaper then put your shaping
rules in /etc/shaper/
eg:
[10:39 AM][root@genuis][/etc/shaper]$ ls
cbq-80.Shape_port_80
[10:39 AM][root@genuis][/etc/shaper]$ cat cbq-80.Shape_port_80
DEVICE=eth0,10Mbit,1Mbit
RATE=50Kbit
WEIGHT=5Kbit
PRIO=5
RULE=0.0.0.0/0:80,
It'll all make sense to you when you read the shaper readme.
Very versatile and pretty easy to use. YMMV.
