LARTC - Feb 2001 - Equal share bandwith on 128kbit line

Hi!

I didn''t use the advance routing controls of the kernel before.

I have the situation, that we have a student hostel with about 100 students,
which is connected to the internet through a dual isdn leased line
(128kbit). When one of the students is starting a real player or a big
download, the other students don''t have much bandwith left.

I looked at the advanced routing howto and found something about stochastic
bandwith controls. Can somebody explain me, how to set this up, please?

I am thinking of a setup where all students, who are currently downloading,
get the same bandwith (128kbit equally devided), so that no big download
from a fast server or a real player is blocking the others anymore

Yes, I had the same proble some months before... and now it''s solved
:-).
The solution is WRR (weighted round robin queue), downloadable from
http://wipl-wrr.dkik.dk/wrr/

Just follow the instructions in the doc comming with wrr, and... yuo will
have equal&dinamically assigned bandwidth to the machines.
