Hi, I have a set of machines [Linux/BSD/Solaris] for which I want to traffic shape their output. I don''t want to change any network configuration so I am considering placing a box in bridging mode in front of them. Can traffic shaping work in this configuration In Linux 2.2.17, the Bridging config option tells you to download the bridge configuration tools from http://lrp.plain.co.nz/tarballs/bridgex-0.30.tar.gz which returns a 404. According to the Bridge mini-HOWTO, the configuration tools are available on ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/BRCFG.tgz whose hostname is not found. Is this the right approach or do I need to think of another solution ? Regards, Yusuf -- Yusuf Goolamabbas yusufg@outblaze.com
I use this one with a 2.2.16 : ftp://openrock.net/bridge/ . but i don''t use qos. in the mailing list, someone seem have problem with qos (but with 2.4) http://openrock.net/pipermail/bridge/2000-November/000574.html seb Yusuf Goolamabbas wrote:> Hi, I have a set of machines [Linux/BSD/Solaris] for which I want to > traffic shape their output.

You can also experiment with proxy-ARP tricks: [internet] - [router] - [linux] - [10.0.0.0/24] eth0 eth1 You need to instruct Linux to respond to ARPs in eth0 for anything in 10.0.0.0, and to respond to ARPs on eth1 for your router, and you are all set. This way, no configuration changes are needed either.> In Linux 2.2.17, the Bridging config option tells you to download the > bridge configuration tools from > http://lrp.plain.co.nz/tarballs/bridgex-0.30.tar.gz which returns a > 404.http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/cgi-bin/search?form=lycosnet&query=bridgex_0.30.tar.gz&doit=Go+Get+It%21&filetype=All+files> Is this the right approach or do I need to think of another solution ?It might be, but I''m not aware of anybody doing this with Linux. The proxyarp trick does work. Regards, bert hubert -- PowerDNS Versatile DNS Services Trilab The Technology People ''SYN! .. SYN|ACK! .. ACK!'' - the mating call of the internet
