4). Can anyone point me at some documentation on this - howto's or examples ? The examples I have seen are all fairly complex.
http://lartc.org/ In particular, the files at http://lartc.org/#download This is a *super complete* documentation, but is easy to understand, if you follow the chapters.
In particular, I'm using tbf now (token bucket filter), but plan to move to htb (hierarchical token bucket). Yes, if you have read Tanenbaum's Computer Networks, it will be somewhat easier... :-)
BTW, in the gateway you can use very cool statistic programs, like nload (network load), pppstatus, iptraf, mrtg, rrdtool, etc, etc, etc
This smells like wondershaper! That is a package already supplied by SuSE. And, indeed, its origin is ... http://lartc.org/. ;) Install it using YaST or rpm, and edit /etc/sysconfig/wondershaper to fit your environment. Then start wondershaper with 'rcwondershaper start'. If you are satisfied, you can have it start during booting with the command 'insserv wondershaper' (or YaST). BTW, do not use your full upload/download bandwith, but specify a bit less (e.g. 95%). If you specify 100%, you risk clogging (delay problem). See the docs. Cheers, Leen
