Bridge+Bandwidth Control

Bridge+Bandwidth Control

[Hernán Mailluquet]

Hi!

I was trying to implement traffic control on a linux
bridge. Basically, I'll need to allocate designated bandwidth
to various services while the rest get throttled.

Eg. on a 10MBit bandwidth.
http/ftp will get 128K
while the rest (smtp/POP3) will get 64K.
Whatever traffic passing through the bridge
in one direction must not exceed 192K.

To my dismay, I realised that firewall marking classifier
will not work under bridging mode.

So right now I'm kind of stuck because of that.

Can someone tell me whether if I can implement something like
the above?

Thanks.

    Hi

Why don't you try implimenting traffic controller (iproute)?

..my first throttle box hangs an ip-less bridge outside my isp clients
firewall, (to control bandwidth for his 802.11 linked customers), how 
is your setup ?
