[Box Backup] Re. Bandwidth Limiting.

[Scott McNee]

Thanks Nick I have had experience with wondershaper + =
smoothwall(IPTables
for Packet tagging) + VOIP but I was after a smaller solution. I have =
found
something call trickle. I will test that out and get back to you. Added
benefits are that it runs in userspace. With all of the new kernel level
security implementations it seems easier to keep everything simple. =
SELinux
and GRSEC rulesets can get awfully complex. I can sense a whole new
sub-security position begin created in organizations where you will need =
a
whole new level of detailed knowledge about everything. (I hope I don't =
get
that job)

Thanks,

I use shorewall - which is the firewall part but then a bolt on called
wondershaper - http://lartc.org/wondershaper/. This simply modifies
everything in the kernel to do it for you.=20

I have done this (mind you - not on the server running box but a Linux
firewall on the perimeter - but should make no difference where it does =
the
bandwidth control) and it worked a treat - b4 lots of complaints about =
slow
internet, after - compliments!

Regards

Nick

After looking around for a bit, I found this: http://tinyurl.com/8k7hw

I haven't done this myself, but I think it should work.

I use a little firewall appliance, that allows for bandwidth limiting=20
per port.

HTH.

Thanks,
