Been working from the following tutorial here:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-t...-http-traffic/
In the "EXAMPLE" portion almost half way down the page, it shows how to use tc with iptables. I got that to work, no problem, however there is a certain aspect I don't understand about it.
As I understand it, iptables (in that example) marks the packets. This way some shaping mechanism (I think it's the kernel) knows that it needs to slow that particular (port 80) traffic down.
Thing is that just to test, when I stop iptables, the kernel still throttles that traffic. Even if I try downloading a file from another source (still port 80) it still throttles it.
How does it know to still do that? Is there a way to make it stop other than removing the appropriate qdisc/filter rules?
Thank you,
