Hello. I am admittedly a linux newbie. I have a RH7.0 box set up for my firewall, running IPchains and MASQ. I also use this for FTP. I am having no problems with this, unless I have alot of people on my FTP server at one time, it sucks up all my bandwidth. I have read the Advanced Routing HOWTO about bandwidth throttling at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO.html It looks like what I want to do is class based queuing. All I want to accomplish is to make sure that all computers on my internal network get preference over external FTP traffic (or all FTP traffic going to my linux box)I attempted to follow the HOWTO to set up the CBQ, but I got lost trying to figure out how I would filter just FTP traffic and make sure everything else got priority. Any help or direction towards resolution of this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.
