Traffic shaping strategies ?

[Dirk Westfal]

Hi there,

I have a question about traffic shaping (though i admit it`s not a plain 
fedora question):

On of my fedora boxes runs as a vpn aggregator on a 2Mbit SDSL link to which 
~20 remote locations (on adsl with ~400kb down/2000mbit upstream ) connect. 
 
I would like to provide a 'band' for each of the remote locations and inside 
that 'location band' some 'sub bands' to throttle ftp/email in favor of 
telnet/ssh, web and webdav. 

>From the docu i read until this point (lart) the htb filter seems to provide 
the kind of fair shaping i need. 

Now the question is how to do it ?

Has anyone here on the list done something like tht before ? 


Thanks a lot!

Best Regards,
Dirk Westfal
