Greetings Vikram, : Can anybody help me out, how to manage or limit bandwidth through : iptables while having internet connection on eth0 and working as : a gateway in LAN. Just recently, somebody identified several of the most common resources used to understand the traffic control mechanisms available in the Linux kernel. These mechanisms are quite complex and he was lamenting the distributed nature of these documents. Much is available, however online. Try the following: [0] Jason Boxman's article on Linux QoS [1] my own article on the entire system and select parts [2] Leonardo Balliache's view into the underbelly of the beast [3] the venerable Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HOWTO To provide you a bit of context before you get started, iptables can only help you with traffic control. The traffic control system can function in concert with iptables, but is a completely separate system. Best of luck, -Martin [0] http://edseek.com/~jasonb/articles/traffic_shaping/ [1] http://linux-ip.net/articles/Traffic-Control-HOWTO/ [2] http://www.opalsoft.net/qos/ [3] http://lartc.org/ -- Martin A.
