Hi, could someone help me with some packet shaping on Linux?

I would like to give a high priority to all http (port 80) and https (port 443) traffic.

'tc' is the tool for you, I guess.

I should have made my post a bit more clear:

I have read the HOWTO's and various other documentation and have a command line "tc" avaliable for use.
I just need to be sure of the details of how packet shaping works using the hex and other codes.

Please find enclosed below a summary of how far I've got so far:

tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 1 u32 match ip sport 80 0xffff flowid 1:3

I just need to find out how to add, ports 80, 443 and 1755
With the highest priority over other traffic on this computer and over the network.

Yhe trouble I'm having is with the hex codes such as 0xffff shown above.

Not sure, if we want something like this:
tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 prio 1 u32 match tcp dst 80 0xffff \
match ip protocol 0x6 0xff flowid 1:3

If it helps, try to add the 'match tcp' part thrice for three different ports.
(alternatively executing trice ?)

Please don't mind, if it doesn't work ( I have very little knowledge about it)
