I am running a small
network (about 10-12 machines) with a linux gateway machine providing
http/ssh/vpn(pptp)/firewalling/NAT
Recently we've had
someone that loves to hog bandwidth a tad (ie: downloading movies at 150-200k/s)
while we slave away
with the remaining
50k/s or so of bandwidth. I was wondering and I think its possible) if I
could remedy this without resorting
to compilicated QoS
/ CBQ crap. Basically is it possible to write a rule that'd say drop 25%
or maybe 50% of all packets going to his machine from the gateway? (nasty yes
agreed)
-internal interface
is eth0 (192.168.0.x)
-external interface
is eth1
Is it possible to do
it based on his IP (which is known lets say 192.168.0.55 for example sake) or
his MAC address which is known.
Any help would be
greatly appreciated. I dunno how this can be done but im sure someone
might be able to figure it out , would have to be done in the PREROUTING where
SNAT is done wouldnt it ?
