CBQ question



Hello.

I have a linux system(2.2.16) connected to the internet using dial-up
connection, And another two win98 systems connected to the linux system
via ethernet.

The linux machine is masquerading tcp packets from the win98 boxes to the
internet. problem is that if the the linux machine is downloading
something from a fast site(3-4kb/s), the win98 machines find the bandwidth
very narrow.

I tried using fair queue to divide the bandwidth so me and the network
have a relation of 1:1 at the worst case.

However, the problem is that CBQ can control what the linux box SENDS but
not what it recieves, that means, i can prevent the network to eat up all
bandwidth, but not the linux box.

The question is, can i somehow force the linux box to reroute all packets
coming from ppp0 which are not to be demasqueraded to a sort of "virtual
IP" which will have limited baudrate by CBQ?
