Hi, My branch office as got a 256Kbps b/w from their service provider at a very very high rate per Mb. They don''t require 256Kbps at all but the ISP does not offer anything low. Can we restrict the bandwith to say 64Kbps nothing fancy? How do I go about it? With warm regards, -Payal

Hi, An offtopic quesiton, but I could not think of asking any other list where it might be answered. I have a client uploading a few designs (25-30 Mbs) daily at a remote ftp server. We download them in morning. Since we have a slow connection we daily waste a couple of hours downloading it. Is there any way I can download them at night. The only thing is that I am not sure of the time they

Hi, I have Mandrake 10.0 gateway with internet via. ppp0. Also, another machine 192.168.0.4 is always connected to net via. a dial-up modem. Now I want to allow a machine (192.168.0.2) in my LAN to access net through 192.168.0.4. So according to lartc howto I did, # echo 200 John >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables # ip rule add from 192.168.0.2 table John # ip route add default via 192.168.0.4 dev

Hello, I am trying wondershaper-1.1a on a friend''s pppoe connection on her Linux box. There are a few things I don''t understand. 1. She has pppoe connection so should DEV=eth0 or DEV=ppp0 ? 2. Her ISP just says on her payment bill that the speed is 128kbps, but doesn''t mention any downlink/uplink speed, so in that case what should be, DOWNLINK= and UPLINK= ? 3. She

Hi, I have 2 ftp servers with 3 identical users. I want server B to be updated of server A. Whatever changes mmade by users on server A should be made on server B say every 5 hours.

Hi, I have 2 interfaces - one for adsl and other for LAN on my Linux gateway machine. The IP addresses are 10.10.10.3 & 192.168.10.101 respectively. Now my routing tables show this particular entry. What exactly is this? 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link Or by traditional route -n, 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 What exactly is this 169.254.0.0/16

Hi, A friend of mine has 2 lines of 512kbps terminated in two Linux boxes. He now want to remove those 2 boxes and have some device which will loadbalance the two ISPs and also have a failover arrangement. But he has agreed to give me a chance to do it on Linux for my own satisfication. Is this easy to do with lartc? How do I go about it exactly? I have very less time to do it since his

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

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

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

Hi, The other day I went to my friend''s company where her local LAN IP was 37.0.0.8 I was pretty shocked since that IP is not for internal use. So, I asked her system admin about it and he muttered something about classless IP range and went off. Was he right in giving such a range to internal IPs? Also, the netmask was 255.255.255.0 and the default gateway was 37.0.1.x. Is this

Hi, This is the first time I have setup rsync.conf like, max connections = 20 syslog facility = local3 read only = true hosts allow = 192.168.10.10 [qmail-control] comment = qmail-control path = /var/qmail/control read only = yes list = yes uid = root gid = root Then from 192.168.10.10, I tried, rsync -avz -e ssh

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 Given the replies and interests lately on the WRR scheduler, and the shameless promotion of Route Hat (only kidding), my question is simple. Is there an alternative for the 2.6.x kernels? >From what I gather WRR is only available for the 2.4 kernels... Regards -- Kenneth Kalmer kenneth.kalmer@gmail.com http://opensourcery.blogspot.com

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

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
