I have implemented traffic shaping on my 20/2 cable internet connection. I'm running monowall on a dell pc with plenty of cpu and memory. I have 3 pcs hooked to a switch which connects to the dell. I run a ftp server on 1 machine that is pretty much maxed upload all the time. My shaping is set as follows:
Pipe: 1 1800 Kbit/s outbound pipe
Ques: 1 outbound pipe 99 high speed 2 outbound pipe 1 low speed
Rules: WAN TCP * Port: 80 (HTTP) * Port: 80 (HTTP) high speed http WAN TCP * Port: 53 (DNS) * Port: 53 (DNS) high speed DNS WAN TCP * Port: 25 (SMTP) * Port: 25 (SMTP) high speed SMTP WAN TCP * Port: 2244 * Port: 2244 high speed SSH2244 WAN TCP * Port: 443 (HTTPS) * Port: 443 (HTTPS) high speed HTTPS WAN TCP * Port: 143 (IMAP) * Port: 143 (IMAP) high speed IMAP WAN TCP * Port: 110 (POP3) * Port: 110 (POP3) high speed POP3 WAN ICMP * * high speed PING WAN TCP * * high speed ACK WAN TCP 192.168.1.102 Port: 50000 - 50300 * Port: 50000 - 50300 low speed ftp passive ports WAN * * * high speed EVERYTHING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The shaper is working, ftp traffic goes into the low speed ques just fine. Http traffic and everything important is in the high speed que. The problem is that web surfing is still pretty sluggish. No were near like without shaping, but enough to be frustrating. Is there anything else i can do here? I want no slow down on my htttp surfing whatsoever.
