Hello, My company runs several Internet Cafes in Mexico, where bandwith is limited and very costly. We use Linux to do NAT and firewall stuff and at each location we have about 30-40 stations. I''d like to know if anyone out there has any suggestions about how to use CBQ to limit the bandwith at each station. We only have a 128k circuit. The problem I am having is that since I have that tiny pipe, one or two people unknowingly hog all the bandwith with applications like napster and my other customers who are just viewing web pages get pissed. Again, I want to rate limit each individual station. Do I have to have an ingress rule for EACH ip address? Any ideas would be very helpful.. Thanks sincerely! Errol
1-Control HTTP by a proxy, with URL and mime filtering 2-Use CBQ with u32 filter to control each workstation. Also, you can use CSZ to minimize delay for interactive protocol like IRC or telnet session. 3-Use proxy for SMTP, POP3, to control how many times theses protocol are used. (Ex: send all outgoing email at each 20 minutes) --- Errol Neal <eneal@bnbtv.com> wrote:> > Hello, > > My company runs several Internet Cafes in Mexico, > where bandwith is > limited and very costly.

That should help distribute bandwidth fairly. Regards, bert -- PowerDNS.com Versatile DNS Services Trilab The Technology People ''SYN! .. SYN|ACK! .. ACK!'' - the mating call of the internet
