Re: [LARTC] How to limit bandwidth in iptables -- HELP

[Martin A. Brown]

Greetings Vikram,

 : Can anybody help me out, how to manage or limit bandwidth through 
 : iptables while having internet connection on eth0 and working as 
 : a gateway in LAN.

Just recently, somebody identified several of the most common 
resources used to understand the traffic control mechanisms 
available in the Linux kernel.  These mechanisms are quite complex 
and he was lamenting the distributed nature of these documents.

Much is available, however online.  Try the following:

 [0] Jason Boxman's article on Linux QoS
 [1] my own article on the entire system and select parts
 [2] Leonardo Balliache's view into the underbelly of the beast
 [3] the venerable Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HOWTO

To provide you a bit of context before you get started, iptables can 
only help you with traffic control.  The traffic control system can 
function in concert with iptables, but is a completely separate 
system.

Best of luck,

-Martin

That must have been me lamenting. Sure, there is plenty online, but
sometimes difficult to collate & appreciate I guess. Anyway, try these
too:

http://www.docum.org

This site has an EXCELLENT FAQ section, it answered many questions I
had, like burst, cburst, quantum etc. It also has tests with graphs
that show what happens when one adjusts these values. There are
excellent links too. Well done to Stef Coene!

http://kabru.eecs.umich.edu/qos_network/diffserv/DiffServ_prototype/qdisc

Now this is some of the best work I've come across! Using DS marking &
an excellent filter explanation. Definately higher grade.

Maybe we could start a repository with the best information around?
Suggestions anyone?
Or just a page somewhere with the most up to date links etc.?

If anyone from O'Reilly is reading this, PLEASE start a book!
