I got it working finally. &nbsp;You need to specify the iptable stuff first, then the rest. &nbsp;The &quot;default&quot; portion of TC was causing shaping to occur regardless of port 80 traffic being matched. &nbsp;Will post final working code tomorrow.

Hi everyone, I tried following the tutorial here:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-traffic-shaping-using-tc-to-control-http-traffic/" rel="ugc">http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-traffic-shaping-using-tc-to-control-http-traffic/</a><br />
<br />
There's actually several tutorials. &nbsp;It's the second one that starts with &quot;Example: HTTP Outbound Traffic Shaping&quot;<br />
<br />
So here's what happens when I run that. &nbsp;First off, it seems to work at first! &nbsp;But after a bit more testing I find out that it's working a bit TOO well. &nbsp;It seems to be shaping all IP traffic regardless of the iptables marking etc. &nbsp;I know this because even when I stop iptables, my downloads are STILL throttled. &nbsp;Anyway my downloads shouldn't be throttled at all regardless because from what I can tell only OUTBOUND traffic should be affected.<br />
<br />
I'm VERY green with tc, so I'm sure that there is plenty I'm missing. &nbsp;I've read through the man pages, and can't seem to find out what I'm missing. &nbsp;Any assistance would be much appreciated.<br />

packet shaping tc question

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
