newbie question about shaping

Post by loudfeline »

Hi all!
I just registred cause I'm planning to use Gargoyle on a router I just bought for "shaping" my Internet connection.

It's an unlimited ADSL ("infinite" data) so I was thinking that I don't really need to apply quotas to users/machines but I need them to just use a portion/percantage of the bandwidth so that Internet won't be congested.

One machine will be uploading almost at all times backups data and I want to make sure other users/machines will be still able to use voip, streaming and such things with equal privileges.

Hope it makes sense :)

Would gargoyle firmwares be able to help me in shaping my Internet conncetion?

Thanks a lot for any help
