Hi,

We have a ADSL connection (2Mb down, = 0.7Mb up) on=20 which we run a public Counter-Strike gaming server with lots of = interactive=20 traffic. Behind the router (Linux 2.4.17with preemptive and HTB patches) = we have=20 one member plus ftp,SMTP,HTTP servers.

Our problem is that we don't want for = instance the=20 ftp-server or downloads behind the firewall interfere with the = latency=20 of the public gaming server. I have currently solved this with a simple = filters=20 on ingress which rate-limit all traffic except our interactive traffic. = However=20 since there are people "behind" the router they don't want to have = rate-limited=20 downloads when there are no or few players connected on the = game-server.=20 Uplink traffic is not a problem with current routing tools.

Question 1:

What I want is a ingress = bandwith-limiting-filter=20 with an adaptive ratelimit which depends on current needs of the game = server. Is=20 this possible to do with current user-tools/kernel ?

Question 2:

Is there a way = (without much=20 additional code on kernel/userspace programs) to bandwidth-limit = single=20 connections on the game-server? Some people with good connections = seems to=20 flood the server with updates.
