Hey, this looks very cool. Have you implemented this with success?
HTB (Hierarchial Token Buckets) are new to 2.6 and very, very cool.

Have you extended this over a wide area network, or across 2 networks
connected by a VPN?

My need is to use something like this over a wide area Frame Relay 
network, full of cisco and other routers. No Internet connections, 
but lots of  diffent machine generated traffic to manage.
Is this transparent to the cisco and other router configurations 
in a WAN deployment, or are there modifications I need to make to 
the cisco router configs to get this working over a private,
 frame relay cloud?

I guess in my case it may be easier to run internal router cards, 
use something like this for QOS for the applications communicating 
across the frame relay cloud. I have a sangoma card so I could 
test this on a tail circuit. What do you use to visualize the
diffent types data traffic? MRTG? JFFNMS? CACTI?

Comments and ideas are most welcome.

James
