similar to: HOWTO unmaintained?

Hi all, based on the information in the "Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO", I was trying to set up traffic shaping on my firewall. While I found the HOWTO very useful, in the process I ran into some problems that I did not forsee: According to the HOWTO it seems that it should have worked, even after spending some time going through the sections looking for answers,

List Out of interest, I use transparent squid proxies for caching websites, and I shape the clients that browse the net, this all works perfectly so no questions in this regard... CLIENT <--- eth0 ----> SQUID <----- ppp0 -----> NET What I just realised was that all egress traffic on eth0 gets shaped, squid gets data from ppp0 and hence is not shaped. Does this mean that squid

Well I got mine from http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/ but I didn''t even know about those 2.6 ones... I''m using the latest 2.4.7 with my 2.6.5

Guys Considering the festive season is upon us, thanks to everyone contributing to the list and helping all the readers with your great input! I don''t want to mention names, I''ll most certainly leave someone out. With this mail I''d like to test some theory on bandwidth management, with my own successes and failures during the past year. Sharing a link between 200

Guys All the recent discussions recently, and the knowledge of a 2.6 port, of WRR has made me very keen on trying it. I had a look at the docs and examples know but my mind is not in a very receptive state. Take this simple example. Incoming internet connection of 1mbps. Shared between up to 25 users simultaneously. I know that WRR can fairly distribute the traffic amongst the currently

Hi! I am making some tests here, and i wanna miror all the traffic going to a ip from one interface to another ip. example: all packets going to 64.223.167.100 should be transmitted by ppp0 to internet and by eth2 to the adress 192.168.1.100. Someone know how can i do it using iptables or ip route/ip rule? Tks in advance! Fernando Favero _______________________________________________ LARTC

Guys I''m looking for some advice on the following situation: We''re serving a residential complex with internet, the network has grown and with it has the problems, below is a descriptive layout of our current setup: Connection: ADSL Down/Up speed: 512kbps/256kbps (1024kbps/256kbps in the near future) 2.0GHz Celeron D with 512MB RAM Current users: 140 Maximum amount of users:

List I need some help, advice or just a starting point on the following situation: Link A - 64kbps leased line Link B - 512kbps ADSL line Is it possible to have Link A saturated constantly and have the excess traffic "spill over" onto Link B? I know it''s possible to have packets sent down links in a round-robin fashion and I''ve read in the howto on load sharing

Guys After reading through the archives I found some insightful ways to be able to shape traffic to pppoe clients from the server. I have two questions on the topic of setting up a pppoe server however... 1. The clients will all be connected to each other using a normal ethernet network, the segments connected with managed switches. The capacity is roughly 500 nodes. Will these pppoe sessions

Hope everyone had a festive easter weekend! Is it possible to monitor how much memory iptables or kernel consumes while processing packets as they go through the firewall? The same question goes for having a large number of routes in the routing table (>700). A few reasons for asking, but the two major ones are from the following situations: 1. We provide 420 flats in a complex with

netfilter and lartc members I just thought it''s time I contribute. I created this little script to help me while setting up iptables rules for firewalling, shaping or both. I hope this helps someone.

Hello Everybody, I have configured a Linux box that does traffic shaping. Its working wonderfully fine, just as expected...Now i want to measure the bandwidth consumed by each of my hosts....But I dont want SNMP to run on all the hosts[as required by MRTG] I used iptraf on my linux box, but it only measures the bandwidth on interface basis only.... I tried installing traffic-vis, its not working

Hi, I am taking my machine loaded with Mandrake 10.0 and Suse 9.1 to my friend''s place. She has 2 different ISP providing pppoe connections in her office. She has allowed me try load balancing on my machine on Sunday. I just wanted to know does lartc stand good with pppoe? I have heard conflicting opinions on the same. I do not want to patch my kernel at all for it. Is it possible

I''ve been lurking for a while, trying to figure out this traffic control stuff. We have 3 ADSL modems upstream, with 2, 2, and 1 megabit total bandwidth, 1/4 of it up, 3/4 down. We also have about 200 workstations downstream, connected through wifi. We are presently using tc to create about 200 buckets with HTB and SFQ. It seems like this is too many buckets, since usually only about

Hi, I''m subscribed to this mailing list for a long time. During that time, I enjoyed reading all posts and try to understand them :) LARTC started as a something I could use to impress my boss. After a while it became clear to me that my boss was not impressed ;(, but I kept following this list because it was fun. I also placed a lot documentation online on

Hi all Is the EventMachine website (www.rubyeventmachine.com) down? I can''t access it from South Africa, and have tried using tor as well with no luck. I''m kinda new to EventMachine, so I first have a lot of examples to work through and reading to do before I start pestering the mailing list with questions. Thanks to everyone who partook in creating the library, so far

Did anyone see the article? It''s the first time I really noticed that these little Linksys routers are such a fully fledged linux machine with a decent processor and a replacable firmware. I am now itching to get one to replace the multipurpose firewall desktop machine. Has anyone experimented with the current state of the firmware and how advanced you can get with tc rules? For

I have a Cable ''modem'' that has a problem that many of these devices is bound to have. I was wondering what other lartc user thought about this and if DSL has simular problems. Cable, being Asymetrical, is able to upload at a given rate and hopefully has a buffer, in the modem, of some kind. When I nc(netcat) to a UDP echo, or discard, server I get about 10Mbps out on my

Hi everyone. I''m new to this list and I have some questions regarding HTB class. I was trying to see how tc sets the parameters for HTB, but really couldnt understand them. So, I thought that I might ask the wizards. It''s mainly from the source code. 1. What is the cell_log ? (its everywhere in the code) 2. Why does htb calculate its burst(buffer) with tc_xmit_time() ?
