This is because I want to do bandwidth limiting on three different levels. 1: Custummers can have more than one IP, but in sum they should not have more bandwidth than another custommer that pays equal but with only one IP (machine). 2: Custommers with more than one IP can priorize between his IP's. 3: Different services should be limited, so that mail will get more bandwith than Kazaa, not on user level, but global level. This I think have accomplished by making ten classes under root, than I call: pop, smtp, www, ftp, kazza(ink. winmx aso), aso. Under these classes I got custommer classes, and under this I got leafs with custommers different IP's, someone with one, and others with ten IP's. No matter how many they got, they who payed equal should have same bandwidth regardless how many IP's they got. To filter on IP I use U32 at the last bits in src address. Do you think I have done it "right" enough or would you do anything different? > You can separate your users by large classes, and make some special high > priority classes for picky users or yourself! not good enough for me as you can see > : Q2: I am running 2.4.20 with static route patch, > : and would like to patch this with > : connbytes-1.0a-patches.tgz , any reason I shouldn't? > > I don't know...... Not me either. Wonder what the other Martin thinks. > : Q2b: Does it exist a connbytes patch for 2.4.20 that > : is allready pached with static route? > > I don't know this one either. It could hurt to try. Kjell
