Re: [Mldonkey-users] you heard all this b4, low ID trash :)

First, sorry about my english.

The first script rc.firewall, is a simple firewall script and a 
router-setup script, that leave open the ports listed in tcp_ppp_ok and 
tcp_udp_ok, enable port forwarding, and configure your linux box to act 
as gateway to any network beginning with 192.198.X.X attached to your 
ethernet card(s).
(In my case I use this script to masq emule/mldonkey on the local lan)
Also this script set TOS to have a minimum delay over the most used 
ports (ports for internet navigation).

The second script "tmangler" is a traffic shaper script that preserves 
the latency when your uplink is overloaded (A hard ADSL problem), also 
prioritizes the traffic for the most used ports for a fast navigation 
and fast dns queries over the rest of the upload junk. (This script is 
based on Linux Advanced Routing Howto, and the Wondershaper script)

A schema of the scripts utilization.


   Internet  ---> (adsl-router) ---> (ethernet dev| Linux Gateway w/ 
rc.firewall + tmangler + mldonkey| ethenet dev) ---> ( ethernet Lan 
Hosts 192.168.0.0/16)

With this configuration I reached the best results, and reduced a lot 
the low id problem.
