LARTC - May 2005 - Dynamic bandwith with HTB

Hi everybody. I have a dilema and I think you guys can help me out.
 
I am trying to shape the bandwith for about 500 clients, and I want the bandwith
to be alocated dynamicly. Lets say I have 4 MB bandwith. I give each ip (500
IP''s) a sustained rate of 4 KB/sec . I wonder if I can shape the
bandwith so when for example only 100 clients are online, to give them a rate of
4MB/100. How can this be done with HTB. Can it be done.
 
I want the bandwith to be divided equal among the clients that are online.
Please spare no details, I am rater new in this.
 
And another thing, how can I limit the upload of each client (with HTB,tc,qdisc)
 
Thanks guys.

This topic was discussed rather frequently in the last few weeks. I recommend
using wrr:

I also recommend my distribution Route Hat which is optimised for this type of
usage.
