Very interesting, I'll look more in depth to your scripts ... do you think it would be easy to change the decission of who to ratelimit, from the number of connections to the bandwidth they are using? Something like, if this user is using 512kb for 5 minutes ratelimit him? -- Damjan Georgievski jabberID: damjan@xxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
