[LARTC] Traffic Shaping QoS and rate-limiting clients

[Michael S. Kazmier]

Hello all,

I am trying to figure out a way to traffic shape for QoS (ie, prioritize
different types of traffic) for an entire network and ALSO rate limit /
shape individual users on this network.  

Now, I understand it all for rate control on users - what I can't figure out
is how we can shape / prioritize by protocol (ie, treat ssh / telnet higher
than www which is higher than ftp, etc).  I suppose we could use the "split"
command (9.5.4.5. Other CBQ parameters: split & defmap) but we would still
require a separate rule for each user.  

What does that mean -> well, we have one rule for each interface (minimum 2)
- one rule for each customer for each interface - AND one rule for each
traffic filter for each customer for each interface!!!  Obviously with
several hundred users and 4 or 5 or 10 or 20 traffic prioritizations, we are
looking at an unmanageable situation.

For those that are graphically inclined, here is what I am wanting to do
utilizing CBQ:

             ROOT 1:
             /   \
Business(1:1)     Residential(1:2)    <-- Each PRIO Business 3, Residential
4, possible rate limit
        /              \
(Traffic Flow)      (Traffic Flow)    <-- PRIO and rate limit web, ftp, ssh,
etc.
      /                  \
(Individual Cust) (Individual Cust)   <-- Individual rate limit per customer




Please -  Any thoughts on achieving the above would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
