Hi all – I’ve been reading for the past day or so about the
traffic control that is built into linux. I have a situation that I have
not seen documented, and I’m wondering how to handle this. I would like to have a group of users get a certain amount
of bandwidth in both inbound and outbound directions on our firewalling bridge.
I know that I can group users together to the same qdisc by marking their
packets through iptables to enforce egress qos. However, I’m not
sure how to go about doing this in an inbound direction. Initially, I was
thinking that I could use HTB, but this doesn’t allow me to shape in both
directions (correct?). The other part that is a bit confusing to me is that I would
like to aggregate both inbound and outbound traffic to a single number, say
1Mbps. Could I use IMQ to tie the interfaces eth0 and eth1 together to
achieve this? Is there another solution that would satisfy this
requirement? Any help is appreciated … Paul |
