[bwm-tools-tech] Can't find the error

[Darren C. <da...@da...>]

Hello,

 

If anyone of you guys/gals (if any) could spare some time and show me where
I am wrong, please do so. I have setup bwm tools and am trying to manage
bandwidth used by two pcs behind the router. The router is a pc - Suse 9.1,
2 interfaces . 

 

I will describe step by step what I am doing and what I would like to do. I
don't want BWM to do firewalling, I need it only to manage bandwidth.

I am downloading files from an web page using download accelerator at a
constant speed of about 320KBps - it won't decrease!

 

Using IPTABLES           - iptables -A INPUT -m mark ! -mark 0 -j QUEUE

*       iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -p TCP -s 172.17.100.4 -j MARK
--set-mark 1001

*       iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -p TCP -s 172.17.100.3 --dport 80 -j
MARK --set-mark 1002

*       iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -p TCP -s 172.17.100.3 --dport 22 -j
MARK --set-mark 1003

 

after executing the above commands, I made sure they were ok using iptables
-L -n -v -t mangle

from the following it seems doing fine!

 

xejku2:/opt/lampp/htdocs/wt # iptables -L -n -v -t mangle

Then, using command /path/to/bwmd -c file.xml -f --- file.xml being
attatched below, I get an output, which I am interpreting as a good sign
******
