Hi everyone
I'm running an Alcatel Speedtouch 510v4 which deals with PPPoE on it's own and
gives DHCP for the internal network... what a charm. My link is 3008kb
download and 800kb upload.
I installed Packet Filter in my box mainly to give a performance boost by
putting a big priority on ACKs. Based on Shamim Mohamed's pf.conf for ADSL,
http://www.drones.com/obsd-fw.html I have this:
altq on $external priq bandwidth 790kb queue { highpri_q, default_q }
queue highpri_q priority 7
queue default_q priority 1 priq(default)
pass in quick on $external inet proto tcp from any to any port $services \
flags S/SA keep state queue (default_q, highpri_q)
pass out quick on $external inet proto tcp from any to any \
flags S/SA keep state queue (default_q, highpri_q)
pass out quick on $external inet proto udp all keep state
pass out quick on $external inet proto icmp from any to any keep state
I'm wondering, is the bandwidth for upload or download? If it's set, as-is,
for upload (790kb) wouldn't that also limit the download as so? If it's set
for download (3000kb) wouldn't that be useless for prioritisation of the
upload?
