Where we live bandwidth is very expensive and we need to closely monitor it. We'll buy 512kbps and this will have to be shared between 4 companies. Thus giving everybody a minimum if 128kbps but it must be burstable to 512Kbps if availible. Can you please give me a good article or howto, explaining the steps required. I'll have 4 network cards for internal traffic and 1 for the internet. Can I set bandwidth throttling per network card? Thanks Leon van den Berg South Africa _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Where we live : bandwidth is very expensive and we need to closely monitor it. We'll : buy 512kbps and this will have to be shared between 4 companies. Thus : giving everybody a minimum if 128kbps but it must be burstable to : 512Kbps if availible. It is absolutely possible to do this. I would recommend using HTB (for bandwidth shaping and sharing) in conjunction with tcng (for easier configuration). I have an article [0] that covers this combination in particular, although you'll still need to gain an understanding of the system before you can work with these tools [1]. : Can you please give me a good article or howto, explaining the steps : required. I'd suggest starting with the links describing the entire traffic control systetm [1], and then read the more specific content. Don't forget to consult (search through) the LARTC archive [2] and Stef Coene's pages [3]. : I'll have 4 network cards for internal traffic and 1 for the internet. : Can I set bandwidth throttling per network card? Yes. Absolutely. -Martin [0] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Traffic-Control-tcng-HTB-HOWTO/ [1] http://www.docum.org/stef.coene/qos/faq/cache/46.html [2] http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/ [3] http://docum.org/ -- Martin A.
