[gentoo-user] cbqlimit children priority

[Claudinei Matos]

Hi,

I'm using cbqlimit to shape my bandwidth usage.
What I want is that even if some user make some download from xyz.com
using the full rate of the link I could start some other download at
my external server and get the priority limiting the other user
download speed and increasing mine.

Well, since I've an adsl link using eth1, I did made some rules to
match eth0 outgoing (which match internet inbound).
I've created one general rule which one I'd setup with the full
incoming rate matching all incoming address/port with a priority 3.
To my server address, I'd setup a rule with priority 1, but that rule
is using the genereal rule as parent.

I think that's the way I have to follow but that doesn't work exactly
like I want.
Trying to make 2 downloas from differente sources (my own server and
any other server),  the unknown server get more speed than mine.

I'd tried to separate my server rule removing the parent reference, so
this time they both are main rules and my server have a priority "1"
while the other rule have priority "3", but even in this way, the
other server still getting more speed than my server.

How can I fixate this? May I'll have to use just one rule for my
server and let the "unknown" sources to have the free portion of the
bandwidth?

Tks in any advice,

Claudinei Matos
