So Dan C, how's it going? You ever going to get a life?

Going well, thanks for asking.

I'm not.

Nobody does. If you had any credibility you wouldn't have to change
your name like a whore changes her panties.

I post under *ONLY* this name.

Do you realize that this makes over 80 of your aliases I've killfiled?

Keep dreaming, Alan/Tom/Sidney. I don't have any aliases.

How many do you have?

Just to add my 2c worth to the ORIGINAL problem.

1/. I think your workaround is perfectly satisfactory, as a first step
and a simple step to doing the traffic shaping that you want. Its been
fast, and it is reliable. This is good use of time.

Makes sense. If I could set speed per socket, that woul dbe even
better, but even just limiting myself to 100 mbps should work.

2/. However it does not - as others have pointed out - represent the
best long term solution.

- its quite possible that someone will come long upgrade that linux and
remove this strange mod. Even if its well documented.

It is in root' crontab, which is in CVS etc.

- its a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Agree

Quote:
- its box specific, rather than traffic/application specific.

- it unnecessarily restrictive if the bx CAN use the bandwidth cos
nothing else is.

I am not clear on what your boundary router is or if it is something you
have administrative control over. But that is the place where -
assuming its a Cisco, or like one - you should be applying centralised
traffic management by whatever algorithm suits the overall company
business best.

Our network guys do not like this and I personally sort of agree with
them, too much trouble potential.

3/. I don't give a fsck about your signature, about netiquette or top
posting. What counts is whether or not your post was clear, and whether
the responses were adequate. This is a technical newsgroup, an the
answers hang around for posterity. The SPIRIT of Linux, and Usenet
(never the LAW) is that it should be overall beneficial to the
community it putatively serves.

I agree and never cared a bit about that worthless subhuman turd Alan
Connor, or Sidney or whatever else.

Peole whose sole contribution over a period amounts to no more than nit
picking pedantry, vicious ad hominem attacks and general patronage, have
their place, but there is no need to respond to them.

Definitely no need to reason with people who are so dumb and lack
proper focus.

Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention
to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating
from Google Groups. If you want your postings to be seen by
more readers you will need to find a different means of
posting on Usenet.

I have a machine that always was on a 100 MB port, but was gigabit
capable. Recently networking was upgraded and now it is on a full
gigabit switch.

I do NOT want it to have a gigabit capacity, since it could overwhelm
a certain WAN network line that this machine shares with others. So I
want to set it to 100 MBit.

I tried

ethtool -s eth0 speed 100

but it did not change anything (though network connectivity was off
for a second or two).

How can I change the max speed?


Check your driver, man <driver name>
That manpage should give you the bits to change speed.
