Subject: [gentoo-user] Using SFQ for fair bandwidth alocation on servers

1 Hello yall!
2
3 I have a collocation server with a 2 Mbps bandwidth for my e-mail. I would
4 like to use SFQ to do a more fair split of this bandwidth between my users
5 (~500). I think SFQ is a very good idea: it will split the available
6 bandwidth between the current connections (almost) equally, and it's CPU
7 cheap.
8
9 The problem is: from what I could read, SFQ can only read the available
10 bandwidth from the physical layer. Is it possible to tell SFQ something like
11 "I only have 2 Mbps, and not 100 Mbps, from eth0"?
12
13 Maybe if I put SFQ inside another queue that has everything?
14
15 Best regards,
16 Daniel Colchete
