[LARTC] Suggestion.

[LARTC] Suggestion.

[Alejandro Bonilla]

Hi,

    I'm new to the list. I intend to learn about some Linux Networking 
features to help myself and others.

I'm looking to control the bandwidth in my office. Basically there are 
like 20 computers, a 2MB Adsl Line. And I would love to let them only 
use a certain amount of bandwidth. For example let every client use 20KB 
of internet bandwidth of the 210KB we can download at. I heard this is 
done with shaper, QoS and some configs in the kernel.

Learning about this, would be part of the end of my transitition of 
moving from MS, to Linux Servers. (I still need more to know about of 
Course)

I'm currently doing MASQ to provide NAT to the clients, aDSL gives 
Dynamic ip for the external adapter and internal adapter does the MASQ, 
NAT and DHCP.

This is a Debian Sid Box, 2.6.8 with Intel PRO/100 Adapters.

If someone could give me an Easy HOW-TO and to please tell me which QoS 
supports I need, I'll be more than happy.

Any additional information you think I should have, please let me know.

Sorry for all the crapp talk.

Thanks for the time, it is greatly appreciated.

- Alex

Witam

You have a typical situation. Modem, router and small LAN. Google is
your answer :)

Start at http://lartc.org/ and read Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic
Control HOWTO.

I think you will need to patch this to use TC

www.docum.org is a good place to start
