I have 3Mbit downstream and 768K upstream and I use a ipf for natting and ipfw with dummynet to do traffic shaping. Considering a 750KB upstream pipe, what size queues would be the most beneficial to balance http, ssh, and other chat protocols sitting behind the natted firewall? I'm looking for some sample configurations to study. Any pointers appreciated! -Kenji -- +++++++++++++++++++++ kenji morishige kenji@kenjim.com http://www.kenjim.com +++++++++++++++++++++
