I'm not sure if it's standard practice, but using precedence fields definitely makes our life much easier when it comes to discriminating between local and international Incoming traffic. >how does it handle outgoing non-tcp traffic? We don't really limit our clients outgoing bandwidth, because our provider doesn't limit us ;-) It's really just incoming bandwidth that we worry about. >we could do that in our etbwmgr product for freebsd. That would be great ! Especially if it could somehow interface with Squid so that any Cache hits would not be bandwidth limited, but TCP_MISS's would be pulled down at the bandwidth specified for that particular client, 16K if it was and international site or 64K if it was a local site... all based on precedence bit.
