Hi,
We have a ADSL connection (2Mb down, 0.7Mb up) on which we run a public Counter-Strike gaming server with lots of interactive traffic. Behind the router (Linux 2.4.17with preemptive and HTB patches) we have one member plus ftp,SMTP,HTTP servers.
Our problem is that we don't want for instance the ftp-server or downloads behind the firewall interfere with the latency of the public gaming server. I have currently solved this with a simple filters on ingress which rate-limit all traffic except our interactive traffic. However since there are people "behind" the router they don't want to have rate-limited downloads when there are no or few players connected on the game-server. Uplink traffic is not a problem with current routing tools.
Question 1:
What I want is a ingress bandwith-limiting-filter with an adaptive ratelimit which depends on current needs of the game server. Is this possible to do with current user-tools/kernel ?
Question 2:
Is there a way (without much additional code on kernel/userspace programs) to bandwidth-limit single connections on the game-server? Some people with good connections seems to flood the server with updates.
