[LARTC] Ideas...

[Errol Neal]

Hello,

My company runs several Internet Cafes in Mexico, where bandwith is
limited and very costly. We use Linux to do NAT and firewall stuff and at
each location we
have about 30-40 stations. I'd like to know if anyone out there has any
suggestions about how to use CBQ to limit the bandwith at each station.
We only have a 128k circuit. The problem I am having is that since I have
that tiny pipe, one or two people unknowingly hog all the bandwith with
applications like napster and my other customers who are just viewing web
pages get pissed. Again, I want to rate limit each individual station. Do
I have to have an ingress rule for EACH ip address? Any ideas would be
very helpful.. 

Thanks sincerely!


Errol

1-Control HTTP by a proxy, with URL and mime filtering
2-Use CBQ with u32 filter to control each workstation.
Also, you can use CSZ to minimize delay for
interactive protocol like IRC or telnet session. 
3-Use proxy for SMTP, POP3, to control how many times
theses protocol are used. (Ex: send all outgoing email
at each 20 minutes)

Try 'WRR', Weighted Round Robin. That should help distribute bandwidth
fairly.
