hi there, which is the best way to shape traffic, but not only applied to the inbound interface, but yes to each of the clients belonging to my lan environment? is it clear? do I have to make filter rules for every client matching their ip addresses? and also, I''d like to obtain graphs of the traffic generated by each of the clients connected to the linux box. which program to use? thanx a lot regards lucas -- ___ /\ \ __ __ _______ _____ _____ \ \ \ /\ \ /\ \ / _____\ / ____ \ /\ ___\ \ \ \_____\ \ \\_| \\ \____/_ /\ __ \\ \ ____ \ \ \_______\\ \______ / \ ______\\ \__\_/\__\\//\_____\ \/_______/ \/_____ / \/______/ \/__/ \/__/ \/_____/ _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
What works for me is to have a box with two interfaces between the edge of my network and my client access equipment. I use HTB and hash the clients into their specific classes based on the source IP (on the outbound interface) and the destination IP (on the inbound interface). For more details, check the configuratione example I posted yesterday.

You can use the ip-address of the client to classify the packets. If you put a linux router (or bridge) in your link, you can shape on both network cards so you can contrl both directions of the traffic.> and also, I''d like to obtain graphs of the traffic generated by each > of the clients connected to the linux box. which program to use?I have some scripts that can generate graphs. You can find it on www.docum.org. They are part of the GUI package, but you can use them just to generate the graphs. I use rrdtool to store/graph long term information and a java program to show real-time graphs.
