Hello! I need assistance to solve my problem related to traffic shaping based on the user ids. The problem: each unix user (of the linux host) has to be limited with incoming channel (internet) bandwidth. I need this to implement internet access solution based on ltsp (http://www.ltsp.org). As far as I know the best way to shape traffic in linux is CBQ. But there is no filter based on unix user id (the reason is clear for everybody -- ip packet doesn't contain this information). I've found the very interesting netfilter patches at the patch-o-matic: http://www.netfilter.org/patch-o-matic/pom-extra.html#pom-extra-owner-socketlookup http://www.netfilter.org/patch-o-matic/pom-extra.html#pom-extra-owner-supgids http://www.netfilter.org/patch-o-matic/pom-extra.html#pom-extra-ip_queue_vwmark Am I on the right way? How can I combine the power of netfilter and traffic control systems to solve my problem? I am new in this topic, so excuse me if my questions are too simple or "dummy" ::-) Thank you beforehand! -- Sincerely yours, Vitaly Repin Ice Brains Software, ltd _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
