 |
|
Hi there,
at appdb
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12302
people are working on a workaround for LotrO killing bandwidth. One approach is to use iptables to drop certain identical packages that are sent too quickly.
Here is the command that is given:
| Code: | | iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -m multiport --dports 9002,9008 -m length --length 1:100 -m filterdupes --cache-duration 85 -dupes-allowed 2 -j DROP |
Executing that I get:
an error where "something failed strangely.. I can't post that anymore, since I got rid of that by adding a few match codes to my kernel.
What's wrong there?
I have just emerged iptables for this very purpose. Do I need to set it up in a certain way first?
I am COMPLETELY new to the concept of iptables, so I can only copy and paste for now..

You have to enable support for packet filtering in the kernel too (netfilter).

What error message do you get? It is not clear from your post.

I edited my first post to try and answer your question,
The whole thing is rather pointless now anyway since one switch used (-m filterdupes) was just a proposed idea and does not exist...
Thanks anyway  |

Was wondering why I hadn't heard of filterdupes.
