If you're only trying to limit http data use the squid proxy server with delay pools: My delay pools config for the squid proxy server: acl only64kusers src 192.168.40.0/255.255.255.0 acl geoff src 192.168.40.198 acl joel src 192.168.40.188 acl ellen src 192.168.40.197 acl jonolaptop src 192.168.40.192 delay_pools 2 delay_class 1 3 delay_access 1 allow only64kusers !jonolaptop !geoff !ellen !joel delay_access 1 deny all delay_parameters 1 128000/128000 -1/-1 24000/24000 delay_class 2 3 delay_access 2 allow geoff ellen joel jonolaptop !only64kusers delay_access 2 deny all delay_parameters 2 192000/192000 -1/-1 192000/192000 This config mean that everyone except jonolaptop, geoff, ellen and joel is restricted to a pool of 128 k/s where each connection can only use 24 k/s And the next delay class means that jonolaptop, geoff, ellen and joel can use 192 k/s all the time from a pool of 192 k/s Hope it helps -Joel -----Original Message----- From: lartc-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:lartc-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jason Boxman Sent: Wednesday, 23 June 2004 3:38 PM To: lartc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [general] Re: http bandwidth control On Tuesday 22 June 2004 22:04, Guillermo Gomez wrote: > Hi > > I'm newbie on this and i would appreciate some pointers on how to limit > the http trafic to my users from my linux-gateway box. > > Thanx in advance -- Guillermo Gomez <ggomez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> neotech _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Try the HOWTO? -- Jason Boxman Perl Programmer / *NIX Systems Administrator Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing | University of Florida http://edseek.com/ - Linux and FOSS stuff _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/ _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
