Re: MT queue vs hardware limit said by DaDawgs:If you expect the customer to shape his own traffic then that setup is going to be more efficient than traffic shaping. In this specific instance, I am the customer. I have a router in my upstream provider's datacenter, and I set the queue for the speed I am purchasing from them. I know they check my graph from time to time to make sure I'm not using more than I'm paying for, but it's never been an issue since I use the queue to limit myself to what I'm supposed to be using.
So far, the queue has worked quite well. As I approach or reach my limit, the queue kicks in and ping times start creeping up, but traffic still flows quite nice. If I were to set a hard limit, I'm assuming it would be less CPU intensive, but would I also see every packet over the limit be dropped, rather than queued? It seems that a slight increase in ping times is better than just getting packet loss, right? | |

Ah! In this case you should be running shapers to maximize your network performance and customer experience.

Something like that works very well. You can also categorize traffic and change priorities. This is a good thing to do because it optimizes network performance for each traffic type.

Feel free to PM me if you want more information about priority queues on MT.
