[HTB] Fair internet sharing betwen server and secund box ??

[Mroofka]

Hi

I have a problem with figuring out how to share internet connection betwen 2 computers. One of them is my box with gentoo and other is coneccted to it by eth1. I'm using nat ofcourse. I don't know how to split my connection becouse the packets to my box doesn't pass the eth1. I can of course set the rate and celi form the secund box connected to eth1 but then barrow/lent mechanism wont work betwen server and other comp becouse they aren't in the same parent qdisc class...
I hope that I explain my problem enough to understand it .

Have anyone some suggestion how to set it up??


Pozdrawiam

I take it that you want to shape download bandwidth. You can do that, but keep in mind that shaping / prioritizing upload bandwidth is much more important than what you download, since you hardly have any influence over what other people send you. That said, you could try your luck with IMQ, which emulates a virtual device that can be used for shaping packets. With it you can put all received packets onto this virtual device and shape them there using HTB. However, a simple ingress queue that drops anything that comes in too fast (to make sure that no queues build up on the ISP side) may be just as effective.
