This configuration was inspired by the one in this thread on the OpenWRT Forum: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=154533#p154533. The configuration has been adapted to Shorewall 4.5.6 with the following changes: The configuration uses an IFB, yet only uses firewall marks in the OUTPUT and FORWARD chains to classify packets; clearly that doesn't work To be more precise, it doesn't work with an unpatched kernel. The OpenWRT script assumes an 'act_conntrack' patch which performs conntrack processing on packets before they are sent to the IFB. That patch is not generally available. The configuration presented here uses U32 classifiers (shorewall-tcfilters(5)) to classify traffic for download shaping and uses the POSTROUTING chain for upload shaping. The sample uses a weak form of P2P classification; the one presented below uses IPP2P. The OpenWRT script assumed that the uplink was ATM -- the one below makes no assumption (it specifies 'ethernet' with overhead '0').

The shell variables set in the OpenWRT script are set in the Shorewall params file: DOWNLOAD=40000 #download speed in kbit. set xx% of real download speed UPLOAD=7000 # set xx% of real upload speed # multiports = up to 15 ports # ports to be classified as bulk #set after connection mark save and after connection mark restore TCP_BULK="1024:" #S and D ports UDP_BULK="1024:" #S and D ports # Destination ports to be classified as P2P TCP_P2P="13769" #D ports UDP_P2P="13769" #D ports IP_P2P="192.168.0.133" # Destination ports to be classified as normal TCP_NORMAL="80,443,25,20,21,110,993,995" # D ports UDP_NORMAL="" # Destination ports to be classified as Prio (overules bulk ports) TCP_PRIO="22,53" #destination ports UDP_PRIO="22,53" #destination ports # Destination ports to be classified as VoIP (overules bulk ports) TCP_VOIP="" UDP_VOIP="18080" IP_VOIP="192.168.0.226" #destination and source IP IP_VOIP="192.168.0.226" #destination and source IP #!!!!!uplink leaf class parameters!!!!!!!!! #bulk UP_LS_BULK_RATE=$(($UPLOAD*5/100)) UP_UL_BULK_RATE=$UPLOAD #settings leaf qdisc UP_BULK_RED_PROB=0.05 #red drob probability UP_BULK_RED_min=6250 #real limit.
