Re: controlling p2p & bittorrent

Hi ,

This is a nice shapping . However , remember that all the traffic in
"others" will suffer from p2p traffic
It is  better (i think) to mark (mangle)  bittorrent connection and give
him a small priority.
This is very usefull if you are using a lot of  different protocol(
rdesktop , irc , .........) because it prevens you to write a  QOS rule
for each protocol .

As you don't know  the tcp port that will be used ,  one solution that i
found in a mag is to mangle you packet based on the user id.
For exemple :

-create user "torrentuser" that will have id yyyy for exemple and all
the necessary right to use bittorrent
-sudo -u torrentuser /usr/bin/yourtorrentclient
-iptable -t mangle -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN SYN -m owner
--uid-owner yyyy -j CONNMARK --set-mark 98  #99 could be default
-Then add your tc filter with something like
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:98 htb rate 50kbit ceil
512kbit burst 2k prio xxx
tc qdisk add dev eth0 parent 1:98 handle 198: sfq perturb 10
tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio yyy handle 98 fw
flowid 1:98

Regards
