Hi, guys
How is it possible to limit download speed for all files bigger than 2 mbytes? I have 7.09 on linksys wrt54gl just for 2 days)
Thank you !

you're looking for TC with HTB (heirarchal token bucket)

http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.qdisc.clas … ml#AEN1072

Change the '15k' burst to 16mbit; the following example very roughly strips their example down to just do the same thing for all traffic instead of making multiple classes.

# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 30
# tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 6mbit burst 16mbit
# tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 1 flowid 1:1

thank you for your reply
anything more new-bie friendly? or something to start with?

Unfortunately not - you can read through the HOWTO on lartc.org, but traffic-shaping in Linux is (in my opinion) very poorly documented for non-wizards.

Check into the connbytes match for iptables

ok, i've read lartc howto, iptables tutorial, well-commented wondershaper script and finaly do understand what you were talking about ))

now i mark all connections (?) within was transfered more than 500kbytes

iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -m connbytes \
--connbytes 512000: --connbytes-dir both --connbytes-mode bytes \
-j MARK --set-mark 21

and send it to limited band

echo 'adding main QDISC'
tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 1: htb default 20
tc class add dev $DEV parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate ${RATEUP}kbit

echo 'adding main classes'
tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb rate 50kbit ceil 120kbit prio 0
tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:21 htb rate 5kbit ceil 5kbit prio 1

echo 'adding leaf-qdisc'
tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:20 handle 20: sfq perturb 10
tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:21 handle 21: sfq perturb 10

echo 'adding filters'
tc filter add dev $DEV parent 1: prio 0 protocol ip handle 21 fw flowid 1:21

but it can be easyly cheated with using smart downloaders.
Is there any new ideas? )
