Hi, I'm new to this list and I was wondering if any of you could help me out with my traffic problem. I did get some limiting to work but it's not working the way I want and that's mostly because I still don't understand some of the commands I'm using. I want to limit my total bandwidth to a maximum of 256kbits but I don't want one user to take it all. I also don't want to have everyone suffer because one site has a lot of hits. I want to make the site with the high traffic slower than the other sites but I don't want the total to go over 256kbits. The IP of the high traffic site is 209.150.199.225. All others should be able to download at a speed up to 200k and have priority over the high traffic site. Also does anyone have a nice traffic monitor that shows me the traffic of each IP which I can use with rrdtool? I have cban right now but it only shows overall traffic on the adapter. Here is what I have right now. It is limiting traffic at 256kbits more or less but I still get spikes over 1mbits which kills my avarage and gets me the high ISP bill at the end of the month. This is what I want (kind of): ************************************************* * eth0 (Limit to 256kbits) * * ********************** ********************** * * * Lower Priority * * Higher Priority * * * * 209.58.199.225 * * All other IPs * * * * (150k Max total)* * (200k Max total) * * * * (100K max per * * (180k max per * * * * connection) * * connection) * * * ********************** ********************** * ************************************************ This is what I'm doing: # I don't know if I have to do this at all /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.225 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.226 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.227 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.228 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.229 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.230 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.231 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.232 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.233 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.234 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.235 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.236 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.237 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.238 dev eth0 /sbin/ip address add 209.58.199.239 dev eth0 # Here I think I'm making some kind of parent which limits all traffic to 256kbits, its name is 1 /sbin/tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: cbq bandwidth 256kbit avpkt 1000 # create a subparanet of parent 1:0 called 1:1 with also a 256kbits limit?
