Subject: [LARTC] Shaping bandwidth for residence students on a University network
Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2001 19:00:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-lartc-100525835229733@msgid-missing> (raw)

Greetings LARTC gurus,

I have what I think is a fairly sophisticated requirement and I am 
hoping to receive some direction, and more importantly, I'd like to know
if it's doable.  ;)

The main router at our institution is an 8-way Linux router running
2.4.9-7 (RedHat's kernel).  Our residence interface is assigned a /25
connected via 100Mbit ethernet, and our gateway to the internet is a
modest 2Mbit uplink, which occupies another interface on the router.  My
requirement is to shape only Internet-bound traffic to the residence
interface (1Mbit up/down), but not shape their traffic to our local 
network (that is, the to the other interfaces on that router).

The documentation for traffic control is a bit daunting, but I'm willing
to tackle it if someone can tell me if what I propose is possible.  
Further guidance and advice would also be greatly appreciated if you
have attempted anything like this.

Thanks,
Jason.
