[LARTC] ***My Simple Setup***

[Nir Shah]

I’m very fresh for the world of Bandwidth Management. For last couple of months I’m searching for some good  (Complete) documentation on CBQ.

My Setup:-
I’ve a Cisco 2600 which gives me 2Mb Bandwidth which goes in to a first Ethernet of a Linux Box and from the other network adapter card to a switch and from the switch I distribute the bandwidth on UTP cables to surrounding offices and nearby buildings. I’ve a pool of 32 IP addresses which I’m free to use. I’ve two P 4 based Linux compatible servers with two Ethernet cards on each and 512 Mb Ram. Right now I’m giving Public Ips to each end user and they are fix for them. I do masquerading via one Linux IPCHAINS based firewall. My customers are of varied types. Serious surfers as well as Chat Masters. So I take money from them on case to case bases. I want to sell each user the correct bandwidth for which he is paying me.


                Linux Box
                  |  |     |-----Customer1 
  |-----------|   |  |     |
--| Internet  |---|  |-----|--------Customer2 
  |___________|   |  |     |
                  |  |     |-----Customer3
               eth0  eth1
My Questions:-
1	I want guidance on which kind of Filters I should use?
2	Where can I find complete as well as useful documentation on that ?
3	I use Linux 6.2. Do I need to download latest Kernel. If yes Do I need to compile it? If yes with which option?
4	What would be the rules.
5	If I want each user to do some kind of ‘login’ into the network before starting the Internet access. Is it possible on an extended Lan network. If yes How?

I will be grateful to those who will help me in doing this job. Please reply.
