Betreff: bandwidth shaping question (up+downstream together)


Hello,

I''m new to bandwidth shaping and cbq and got a question. I''d
like to sell
"bandwidth" to my customers. For example one Megabit or 10 Mbits or
whatever. It shall not play a role whether the traffic is up- or downstream.
All I want to limit is the total traffic of my customers.

I''ve been surfing around for a while and found some scripts that allow
limiting the bandwidth for an Ethernet-device or a subnet - BUT all of those
programs are only intended for one direction: either up or downstream.

So.. is it possible at all to limit the "total" amount of bandwidth an
Ethernet device (like eth0) and/or a subnet (like 192.168.0.0/24) can cause
?


Thanks a lot,
Gunther Stammwitz
