Good morning, Leon,
: I'm trying to setup my server to bandwidth control. 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
