I?m very fresh for the world of Bandwidth Management. For last couple of months I?m searching for some good (Complete) documentation on CBQ.
My Setup:-
I?ve a Cisco 2600 which gives me 2Mb Bandwidth which goes in to a first Ethernet of a Linux Box and from the other network adapter card to a switch and from the switch I distribute the bandwidth on UTP cables to surrounding offices and nearby buildings. I?ve a pool of 32 IP addresses which I?m free to use. I?ve two P 4 based Linux compatible servers with two Ethernet cards on each and 512 Mb Ram. Right now I?m giving Public Ips to each end user and they are fix for them. I do masquerading via one Linux IPCHAINS based firewall. My customers are of varied types. Serious surfers as well as Chat Masters. So I take money from them on case to case bases. I want to sell each user the correct bandwidth for which he is paying me.

My Questions:-
1 I want guidance on which kind of Filters I should use?
2 Where can I find complete as well as useful documentation on that ?
3 I use Linux 6.2. Do I need to download latest Kernel. If yes Do I need to compile it? If yes with which option?
4 What would be the rules.
5 If I want each user to do some kind of ?login? into the network before starting the Internet access. Is it possible on an extended Lan network. If yes How?
I will be grateful to those who will help me in doing this job. Please reply.
