<br><font size=1 face="Courier New">Hi!<br>
<br>
I want the SIP-traffic to have the highest priority. I guess the best <br>
method for this is traffic shaping.<br>
<br>
I'm using debian with kernel 2.6.5. I installed the tools "tc"
and <br>
"iptables" but I'm not really sure how to use it.<br>
<br>
Can anybody help me in providing me a ready-made script?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>

<br><font size=1 face="Courier New">I suggest you take a look at http://lartc.org/</font>
<br>
<br><font size=1 face="Courier New">There you can find all the info on
creating a box for shaping traffic. Currently, I configured a P200Pro w/
128 MB of RAM + 2NICs as a bridge + QoS + ntop. We run Citrix (highly interactive)
traffic, Video, and soon to add VoIP to the mix. The P200 works great for
this. I start up the bridge as a service, which bridges the NICs, sets
an IP for the bridge (so I can SSH to it and hit ntop from a browser),
and then runs 2 scripts, one for shaping each interface. You don't need
the newest kernel. 2.4 or later has tc. You'll also want bridge-utils for
this kind of use.</font>

<br><font size=1 face="Courier New">I suggest you read up on CBQ and HTB
and SFQ queueing disciplines. These should help you the most. The LARTC
mailing list is also quite helpful.</font>
