[LARTC] Mini-ISP-like bandwidth limiter

[LARTC] Mini-ISP-like bandwidth limiter

[Stanis?aw Winiecki - Admin]

Hi everyone,

Greetings from Poland :)
I want to be able to allocate portions of the internet link bandwidth to
several homes in an apartment house. We pay together for internet access and
have a Linux router/gateway.
Now we want to expand a little, i.e. buy a bit more bandwidth and achieve
the following:
- A possibility to assign a public IP address to a household (some people
want to have their own servers at home)
- Split the bandwidth to a requested level, so that some people could get
more, some less, and pay their appropriate share in the overall link cost.

It looks to me as a small ISP-like problem :) Of course we run this network
privately, so we can't afford a professional bandwidth limiting software or
hardware solution.

To be honest I'm not a Linux guru [yet ;)], so learning about LARTC,
experimenting and maintaining it will take some time. In the meantime I was
wondering, whether someone has experience with such a setup, with multiple
network adapters and hopefully some administration aids (a web-based
interface would be a dream).

Anyone can help?...

Best regards
Stan

Hi
Greeting from INDONESIA :-)

I think we do the same thing. I'm also work with very small bandwidth :-)

If you have controll to your own IP address, the there is no problem to give 
public IP addresses to your "customer".
But if you don't have access to the main router (like me), then "proxy-arp" 
could be also a solution.

To manage/limit the bandwidth, the easiest way is to use cbq.init script.
Of course the cbq.init are very simplistic. You should write your own command 
for better bandwidth management :-P
