I definately need to use a caching proxy. I currently use squid, and it works fine. However if one of the terminals has a 'power surfer', they tend to use all of the bandwidth leaving not much for the other terminals. I have tryed squids delay pools, but they don't really do what I want. What I really need is to split all the bandwidth between the terminals that are drawing traffic fairly. I have setup tc qdiscs and classes on the interface between the proxy and the terminals sharing the bandwith fairly and using sfq qdiscs for when the limit is reached. The problem with this scenario is that squid still pulls the info from the net unfairly, so only traffic from squid to the terminals is managed. I was hoping that there might be an alternative to squid that handles bandwidth management better. Can anyone recommend one, or can someone let me know of a better way of managing the bandwidth? Many Thanks Craig _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
