[altq 1321] Re: Is ALTQ right for me?

["Adam" <adam@ecamp.net>]

Any idea on a simple config line to give an IP addres sprioirty over the
others?  Is it as simple as having the IP's I want priority in the
altq.conf file with some special PRIQ function, and everyone else not
mentioned?
And I would also need to run NAT as well correct? Or some way of
forwarding packets to the cisco?

	Yes. You can use ALTQ with a PRIQ scheduler. PRIQ is probably
the
simplest scheduler in ALTQ (with the exception of FIFO), it is a static
priority scheduler. Which, from what you describe, is all you need.
