[LARTC] shaping clients

[LARTC] shaping clients

[Lucas Aimaretto]

hi there,

which is the best way to shape traffic, but not only applied to the
inbound interface, but yes to each of the clients belonging to my lan
environment? is it clear? do I have to make filter rules for every
client matching their ip addresses?

and also, I'd like to obtain graphs of the traffic generated by each
of the clients connected to the linux box. which program to use?

thanx a lot

regards

lucas

What works for me is to have a box with two interfaces between the edge
of my network and my client access equipment. I use HTB and hash the
clients into their specific classes based on the source IP (on the
outbound interface) and the destination IP (on the inbound interface).
For more details, check the configuratione example I posted yesterday.

Like Gideon replied, you need 1 class for each client.  You can use the 
ip-address of the client to classify the packets.  If you put a linux router 
(or bridge) in your link, you can shape on both network cards so you can 
contrl both directions of the traffic.

I have some scripts that can generate graphs.  You can find it on 
www.docum.org.  They are part of the GUI package, but you can use them just 
to generate the graphs.  I use rrdtool to store/graph long term information 
and a java program to show real-time graphs.
