I have only a dial up connection (stone age, I know). I notice there a
number of traffic shaper/QoS solutions around now and I am wondering if
anyone has an opinion which is the best. I want the usual things, in this
order:
1. Low latency for ssh, ftp etc.
2. Next lowest latency for http(s)
3. uploads and downloads lowest priority.
4. Not to spend too many hours fighting to get it to work. In particular,
I've gotten a bit lazy about kernel compiling now that debian's
pre-packaged kernels seem to do everything I need from sound to CD
writing. But I can recompile if its the best choice in other ways.
5. Not to pick the dead end choice which requires me to learn a new
solution later.
6. Fully telepathic solution. The traffic shaper should read my mind to
determine where I really want my bandwidth to go at all times.
7. Defocused temporal perception, al la Sirius Cybernetics Corporation
Happy Vertical People Transporters, but without the neurosis or
horizontal motion. The traffic shaper should be able anticipate when
I will touch that first key in the ssh session and have the line clear
and ready, even before I know I'm going to touch it.
Seriously though, any advice which way is best to go would be greaty
appreciated.
