limiting bandwidth using qdisc alone

[Muhammad R. Sami]

I want to limit the bandwidth of my outgoing interfaces for all traffic but
do not want to use shapecfg and shaper. My question is that can I use qdisc
instead. As far as my understanding, I just have to specify a qdisc
(preferably HTB) on the interface, limit the bandwidth and allow all traffic
to go through it, without any iptables marking. Is this possible and
efficient way to do what I want? Or does anybody have a better solution for
this?

You SHOULD have a new menu entries for the string match..

    dep_tristate '  String match support (EXPERIMENTAL)'
CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_STRING $CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES

If you do not, and or else do not have CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_STRING defined
in your kernel configuration then the string match won't be build, and 
hence won't work.

Which version of pom-ng are you using?
