Traffic Shaping on DSL?
jackla asks: "I'm now looking for software to do traffic-control on my Windows XP box. I am connected with DSL and my upstream is capped at 96kbit/s (down is 1.5Mbit/s) - this means that high(>70kbit/s) upstream utilisation KILLS my downstream: it just drops down to about 400kbit/s and stays there unless there's more upstream space. That said, I read alot about the Linux shaping solution (wondershaper or something) which sounds exactly right, except I need something that works for Windows. What I want to do is prioritize upstream ACKs (for example) so that my downstream isn't affected by upstream use.
If anyone heard of a peace of software that can do this, I would love to hear about it." It would be nice if something like this existed cheaply for Windows. I am unaware of such, but maybe a few of you have ideas. Could such a traffic shaper be built using low powered computers? If so, how would you build and configure it so it would maintain compatibility for the single Windows machine, behind it? (Think: homebuilt traffic-shapping appliance)
Shape this bitch!!
HAHAHA!!
I use two exclamation points on everything!!
FIRST FUCKING POST!!
I hate to sound like a slashdot weenee, but use Linux. It's better suited for such things.
Ok, you can all flame me now.
...yeah! Go get a working, stable OS then come back.

I'm the Devil the Windows users warned you about.
It all began when I did my first neurosurgery rounds, the thrill of sawing through the skull, the crunching sounds, entering a brain is like entering a very tight asshole without lube. One night, a black man was in with advanced syphilis, his small hat seemed to indicate that he was a kike, but we cared for him anyway. I was doing a long surgery alone, and felt my cock harden as the scalpel slid into his parietal lobe. I could resist no longer, I unzipped my pants and began masturbating furiously right on the operating table. I was rubbing so hard, I barely registered the double click of a door opening and closing behind me. My head resident, Scott, was watching. As I turned to him, our eyes locked and I froze in fear. "Keep going," he said, his eyes burning with desire. I continued pumping my wide pink cock until I pumped nearly a liter of semen directly into the patient's brain. "It feels much better when you just fuck the brain," he said. As he said it, I realized what he wanted. Scott walked over to the

ok, I think its time for windows.slashdot.org
I think it's obvious that this cannot be done due to the sole fact that Windows XP doesn't allow you to format the drive that it is running on while it is running.

This is an excellent suggestion.
I would write my own QoS rules and script, but for your lame windows ass, cbq.init will be just what you're looking for.
"That's some guy saying "I fucked up some settings on my computer and it started working right when I fixed them."
If you will bitch, don't bitch under AC.
NO, windows doesn'T come with those settings by default. Its a KNOWN fact... Fresh install windows, you will get stupid RWIN, MTU settings.
Forgot what are NIC's for in fact? Corparate networks. Now, in DSL/Cable age, we use them at home.
That post deserves credit since we are talking about Windows DSL performance problems here.
Oh, btw, enable "passive ftp" for download on IE, DSL guys...
damn zealots, where's a science vessel with an emp shockwave when you need one? ;)
He's asking because this is supposed to be a public technology-based forum, not a haven for narrow-minded assholes like you.
