[LARTC] Bandwidth shaping and ISP's network peerings

[LARTC] Bandwidth shaping and ISP's network peerings

[panca sorin]

Hello all! I have a small LAN at home and when someone
starts to download (only one), interractive traffic
(www, chat and online games) is impossible with
standard kernel queues setup... So I started to shape.
My ISP gives me a 512 kbits link to the Internet and a
100 Mbits link to some of the other big ISPs in my
country. If I set the rate of the parent htb qdisc at
512 kbits, I will never use the MAN bandwidth from my
network. If I set the rate of the parent htb qdisc at
100 Mbits, i cannot shape interractive traffic.
Further, I would like to allocate for every station in
the LAN a quantum of my Internet speed with ceiling
but in MAN I want to have the full hardware speed if
only one machine is connected, with any ceil.
Any ideas would be VERY appreciated! I can't imagine
any good setup to meet these constraints.

Hi there...
I have an idea for you, just don't ask me how to implement it. 

1. bring up some virtual interface, I'm almost sure linux has some way of 
doing it. this interface should output data to your real interface.
2. try to route all MAN traffic trough this interface. you'll need to know the 
destination  addresses of this network. 
3. shape the virtual interface..

I hope it's possible.. I'll be glad to know If you made it.
Good luck.

That sounds like an overly complicated way to do it.  I would just 
create a 512kbit class with subclasses for the internet traffic, and 
route all MAN traffic into a 100mbit class.  Should be some way to know 
which ip's will go to the MAN. Creating a virtual interface makes little 
sense here, since no matter what you'll have to filter out the MAN traffic.
