Hello all, I am trying to figure out a way to traffic shape for QoS (ie, prioritize different types of traffic) for an entire network and ALSO rate limit / shape individual users on this network. Now, I understand it all for rate control on users - what I can't figure out is how we can shape / prioritize by protocol (ie, treat ssh / telnet higher than www which is higher than ftp, etc). I suppose we could use the "split" command (9.5.4.5. Other CBQ parameters: split & defmap) but we would still require a separate rule for each user. What does that mean -> well, we have one rule for each interface (minimum 2) - one rule for each customer for each interface - AND one rule for each traffic filter for each customer for each interface!!! Obviously with several hundred users and 4 or 5 or 10 or 20 traffic prioritizations, we are looking at an unmanageable situation. For those that are graphically inclined, here is what I am wanting to do utilizing CBQ: ROOT 1: / \ Business(1:1) Residential(1:2) <-- Each PRIO Business 3, Residential 4, possible rate limit / \ (Traffic Flow) (Traffic Flow) <-- PRIO and rate limit web, ftp, ssh, etc. / \ (Individual Cust) (Individual Cust) <-- Individual rate limit per customer Please - Any thoughts on achieving the above would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! --Mike _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
