[bwm-tools-tech] Question about rules....!

[Rizwan S. <riz...@ho...>]

Hi,
    i have been recently trying out this tool for bandwidth management. =
i can not seem to figure out how to get the rules right. i have a an ftp =
server which is connect to internet with a 1Mbps line. i want to limit =
all outgoing ftp traffic to 512Kbps because the rest of traffic is =
needed for some HTTP traffic and normal user requests etc. I tried =
following rules in firewall.xml and loaded "bwmd -c firewall.xml".

<firewall> <global>
  <modules>
   <load name=3D"ip_queue"/>
  </modules>
  <class name=3D"ftp_traffic_out">
  <address name=3D"aftp_traffic_out" src=3D"192.168.0.200" =
src-port=3D"21"/>
  </class> </global>=20
 # Traffic flows
 <traffic>
  <flow name=3D"mainline" stats-len=3D"10" queue-size=3D"1000" =
queue-len=3D"100" max-rate=3D"60000" burst-rate=3D"70000" =
report-timeout=3D"60">
      <flow name=3D"my_ftp_out" max-rate=3D"55000">
         <queue prio=3D"50" nfmark=3D"1001">
              ftp_traffic_out;
         </queue>
      </flow>
  </flow>
   </traffic>
</firewall>

Ok what i understand from above rules is that it should limit =
"ftp_traffic_out" type traffic to 55000 bytes ~=3D 55Kbytes/sec. But it =
does not work, instead ftp keeps using full bandwidth and no limitation =
happens. I should mention that i am using bwm tools only for traffic =
management, my system has its own firewall i-e SuSEFirewall2 which come =
with SuSE. Please help me, am i doing it not right or is it not the tool =
for my problem.=20

Thank you.
