Thanks - John I can't speak to the queuing parameters so much, but do have one question: What do you plan to do if your traffic shaper needs rebooted, loses power, or some other change resets the queuing state/counters? I think you'll still need some external monitoring to keep track of what throughputs you've used so far during the billing period, and make sure you don't exceed your targeted thresholds. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe lartc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
