# tc4shorewall Version 0.5 # # /etc/shorewall/tcdevices # # Entries in this file define the bandwidth for interfaces # on which you want traffic shaping to be enabled. # If you do not plan to use traffic shaping for a device, # don't put it in here as it limits the troughput of that # device to the limits you set here. # # Columns are: # # # INTERFACE Name of interface. Each interface may be listed only # once in this file. You may NOT specify the name of # an alias (e.g., eth0:0) here; see # http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq18 # # You man NOT specify wildcards here, e.g. if you # have multiple ppp interfaces, you need to put # them all in here! # # IN-BANDWIDTH The incoming Bandwidth of that interface. Please # note that you are not able to do traffic shaping # on incoming traffic, as the traffic is already # received before you could do so. But this allows # you to define the maximum traffic allowed for # this interface in total, if the rate is exceeded, # the packets are dropped. # You want this mainly if you have a DSL or Cable # Connection to avoid queuing at your providers side. # # If you don't want any traffic to be dropped set this # to a value faster than your interface # # Use kbit or kbps(for Kilobytes per second) for # speed, and make sure there is NO space between the # number and the unit. # # OUT-BANDWIDTH The outgoing Bandwidth of that interface. # This is the maximum speed you connection can handle. # It is also the speed you can refer as "full" if # you define the tc classes. # Outgoing traffic above this rate will be dropped # # Use kbit or kbps(for Kilobytes per second) for # speed, and make sure there is NO space between the # number and the unit. # # Example 1: Suppose you are using PPP over Ethernet (DSL) # and ppp0 is the interface for this. The # device has an outgoing bandwidth of 500kbit and an # incoming bandwidth of 6000kbit # ppp0 6000kbit 500kbit # # ################################################################################# #INTERFACE IN-BANDWITH OUT-BANDWIDTH ppp0 4mbit 400kbit #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE
