In searching around the web I have found information on how to prioritize traffic with Open BSD but not with Linux. Specifically I am looking to prioritize TCP ACKs. This will help downloads when someone uploads on a broadband connection so that the download speed is not killed. Now, the information I have seen is using ALTQ and pf.conf with Open BSD. Is there an equivalent to this in Linux? I have looked at Netfilter but I have not seen anything that specifically relates to this.

Linux: Traffic Prioritization

Well, I never thought much about it before, but I suppose there has to be a way to do it. Would be nice to use for stuff like bittorent or for serving up a distributed server network on the web.
What would be nice if your serving would be a way to hobble leaches while letting good citizens get as fast as a connection as you can provide....
here's a rather old article
also check out the linux networking howto for more up to date stuff
check out this PDF, it was a linuxworld article
I did searches on google for:
linux network shaping
linux qos shaping
linux qos iproute2
and so on.
Never realy worked with it myself, but hopefully this will help get you started.

I havn't had a chance to set it up myself though, last I checked I think my firewall's kernel was missing something for ingress throttling and I never got around to compiling a new one because libc on sparc64 was a little out of whack lately.

Thanks, I'll check out those links. Here is the original link that sparked my interest. ACK Prioritization I have not used Open BSD, only Free BSD and Linux so I am not sure how hard it would be to set up
Edit: Nothinman, that was one of the original links that I saw. I looked for it but I could not find it. Thanks! Do you know what the script is using to shape traffic? I did not see an reference on the page.
