Guys Reading through my lartc mail, and thinking on how to tackle my next shaping solution, gave me an idea. I'd like to propose this idea for scrutiny and if it sounds viable I'll definitely need to start developing in due time. For me in my day to day work with developing network application specifically geared for middle-tier ISP's, and reading on other peoples issues I gather that the following would be the ultimate solution to traffic jams. First the case study. An untrusted network with over-subscribed users (and abusers). Common at universities and bigger enterprises. People want good speed at any time, but abusers should be detected and clamped down automatically. This system needs intelligence. Let's say a good combo between HTB & WRR, through in a pacemaker and the configurability of XML files. My thinking is Python (I only code interpreted) doing the configurations and "live" htb manipulation to simulate wrr, but still offer the gaurentees of htb. The account for data and detect abusers, something like pmacctd would be easy to integrate with and provides powerful options. Extra things should be the ability to handle multiple subnets, not just a single one, and while doing Python we might as well have options to produce rrd's to make sure that everything is running perfectly. Any advice, tips or suggestions? I know it won't be an easy feat, but it is worth a shot...
