What does penalise means?

[lawsu]

Hi,

I manage to load balance 2 wan lines.  Now proceed to do traffic shaping.

I create an Alias name as "default" for network 192.168.1.0.

When I penalise "default" to Down:500Kb

Does it mean I penalise ALL to stick to total down:500Kb

OR

Does it mean I penalise individual to stick to total down:500Kb?

If you are putting all traffic from the "default" alias through a queue that is set to have an Upplerlimit m2 of 500Kb then EVERYTHING going through that queue will have a maximum of 500 Kb/s traffic, not just individual connections/states.

At least that is how I understand it, feel free to correct me :)
