[LARTC] RE: http bandwidth control

[Guillermo Gomez <ggomez@neotechgw.net>]

Thanx to everyone who gave me the pointers.(Joel, Jason)

I tried several times to get into the HOWTO but it's not easy to follow
and i'm really busy so the squid solution seems to be simpler for me
(delay pools).

Anyway, is there any spanish translation of the HOWTO ? If not i could
try to help on this on my spare time.

My general config is:

lan (eth0) - linux gw - wan (eth1) (internet)

My linux gateway is doing NAT/PPTP VPN/SMTP Proxy (Messagewall)
and general firewalling.

The major issue i have is giving incoming priority on VPN clients and
slowing down incoming email traffic (huge).

Messagewall is limiting the amount of simultaneous smtp sessions but it
does not limit the bandwidth in any sense.

So basically my requirements are
	slow down http incoming traffic (general browsing, achievable with
squid)
	slow down smtp incoming traffic
	prioritize VPN PPTP traffic

Basically my upstream bandwidth is not congested but the downstream is
really congested.

I'm trying the wondershaper as a quick solution also but don't know how
"see if it's working or not"... My internet link is 1Mbps(up/down) and
i'm seen it very, very busy all the time. Also don't know how to list
several low prio src or dst ports... I tried 80,25 or 80:25... nothing
worked... any clue on this ?

Thanx again for the help
