[LARTC] Help restricting bandwidth of individual clients

[LARTC] Help restricting bandwidth of individual clients

[ariel]

Hello,

im new to this stuff, before this, i was using hardware to manage my
bandwidth.

I have a wireless AP (hostap) with a good connection. What i want is to
shape my traffic to restrict each one of my wireless clients to a specific
rate. Two to 33.6K, one to 128K, one to 256Kbps, some to 512K, and one to
1024K ...

I've read chapter 9 of the lartc-howto, it says it is possible, but is not
really clear to me how to do this stuff. Do i need two eth cards and make
a bridge? I read that HTB is better than CBQ, so im trying to use HTB.

Im using DHCP for my clients, so is this possible by just using their MAC's?
Has anyone any script to make things easier?

I'll appreciate any link or info about this...
Thanks very much, ....

final question.
is there any shearch tool for the mailing-archive of lartc?

A bridge is easy to put in an existing network because you don't have to 
reconfigure the network.

Yes.  You can use the mac address with iptables to mark the packets.  This 
mark can be used to put the traffic in the cass you want.
