Im very fresh for the world of Bandwidth Management. For last couple of months
Im searching for some good (Complete) documentation on CBQ.
My Setup:-
Ive a Cisco 2600 which gives me 2Mb Bandwidth which goes in to a first Ethernet
of a Linux Box and from the other network adapter card to a switch and from the
switch I distribute the bandwidth on UTP cables to surrounding offices and
nearby buildings. Ive a pool of 32 IP addresses which Im free to use. Ive two
P 4 based Linux compatible servers with two Ethernet cards on each and 512 Mb
Ram. Right now Im giving Public Ips to each end user and they are fix for them.
I do masquerading via one Linux IPCHAINS based firewall. My customers are of
varied types. Serious surfers as well as Chat Masters. So I take money from them
on case to case bases. I want to sell each user the correct bandwidth for which
he is paying me.

My Questions:-
1 I want guidance on which kind of Filters I should use?
2 Where can I find complete as well as useful documentation on that ?
3 I use Linux 6.2. Do I need to download latest Kernel. If yes Do I need to
compile it? If yes with which option?
4 What would be the rules.
5 If I want each user to do some kind of login into the network before
starting the Internet access. Is it possible on an extended Lan network. If yes
How?
I will be grateful to those who will help me in doing this job. Please reply.

Linux 6.2 is pretty old now and RedHat and is based on kernel 2.2. Start with the latest release of RedHat Linux 7.1 which has QOS compiled in by default - makes your job much easier. It comes with kernel 2.4 and uses iptables.> 4 What would be the rules.RTFM. http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO.html> 5 If I want each user to do some kind of login into the network > before starting the Internet access.

If you are using a proxy server like squid, you can provide access to HTTP/FTP only after a successful authentication. Socks proxy can also do authentication. -- Han Solo: I love you.
