I have a link to a building (e.g. 10Mb/s) and want to split up the bandwidth to different users. Each user should get e.g., 512kB/s plus 256kB/s dedicated for VoIP. What kind of device can I use for that ? (managing switch ??? which one?) bye Ronald Wiplinger

One setup like this at either end will manage the traffic in both directions through the link. openbsd is a little known operating system that focuses on security above all else, and its the perfect tool for routers/firewalls/traffic shapers, etc. you can generate the pf configurations with fwbuilder from linux or windows, using a gui instead of hand editing the file, but I am not sure if the the traffic shaping features are supported there or not, never tried it.> > bye > > Ronald Wiplinger > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >Jon Pounder _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ Inline Internet Systems Inc.

Get an OpenBSD device. You dont need 2 boxes, you can shape on both nics. That way one machine is enough. Here's the official FAQ about queueing in OpenBSD: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/queueing.html -- Michiel van Baak michiel@vanbaak.eu http://michiel.vanbaak.eu GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x71C946BD "Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?"

Why do that? Just traffic shape each user/group of IP addresses to the total bandwidth you want them to have and then set up a low latency queue for voip traffic, that way the voip bandwidth can be used for data when there are no calls but will give VoIP traffic priority over other traffic. Any old refurbished Cisco 2611 or 2621 will do the trick. Look up "low latency queuing" and "traffic shaping" on cisco.com If you are doing NAT on the router I recommend a general deployment (GD) 12.3 IP feature set IOS image. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Wireless Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 8:36 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Bandwidth shapping device I'd use a MikroTik or 2 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronald Wiplinger" <ronald@elmit.com> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 2:19 PM Subject: [asterisk-users] Bandwidth shapping device> I have a link to a building (e.g. 10Mb/s) and want to split up the > bandwidth to different users.
