I wonder if there are any similiar projects (thoughts) in the *BSD world to compensate this? (if there's anything to compensate - ofcourse!... I didn't tried linux HTB so far by myself- but maybe there's someone out there who already did it and can share some deeper insights/thoughts!) thanks in advance and best regards, Frank Reppin Heidestr. 15 39112 Magdeburg (1) I can be very wrong - ofcourse! :) [but i don't think so.] :p We are a regional ISP using both - dummynet and ALTQD - to perform QoS to our customers (without having a budget for expensive hardware, since mostly everything is based on a volunteer basis). My colleagues here don't blame the currently smooth working solution - but they think that Linux HTB might perform better (scalability, accuracy, configuration tasks) than the *BSD solution. -- 43rd Law of Computing: Anything that can go wr fortune: Segmentation violation -- Core dumped
