Hi,

hi barq,

can you be more specific on that "traffic control"?
do you mean a traffic shaping thing using tc or htb or something?
or perhaps you have any other idea?

hi,

i think, a familiarity with these tools needed in order to successfully learn/practice that traffic control topic :
- basic CLI/command line interface
- basic iptables knowledge

and some of these tc-related tutorials from lartc.org
http://lartc.org/howto/

please refer to chapter 9, and it should guide you to learn traffic control/shaping etc.

HTH.
