We have one NIC on each of our machines to only accept data from each
other. All other data is routed by our network to what we call the "user
line". So our HA traffic is on a completely dedicated path. Our boxes
are hundreds of miles apart.

QoS for Traffic Shaping?

Has anyone configured QoS on their iSeries to restrict outbound
communications? We have started up mirroring between two systems and
would like to restrict all traffic between the two iSeries dedicated
Ethernet interfaces. They are going across our WAN. Currently we are
using our firewall for traffic coping but that is causing to many
dropped packets and playing havoc with the mirroring software
communications.

I would like to start QoS and enable traffic shaping at 4o% of my WAN or
4Mbps.

I have two old 170's plugged in to the same switch, both at V5R3 that I
am testing with but I am still getting much more throughput that I
configured on the sending box. Any experience out there or suggestion?
