All the traffic from the LAN side is MASQUERDED to the WAN side so that everyone can get access the Internet. My backbone bandwidth is 2 mbps, when some people on the LAN side try to use streaming downloads or use VoIP they will reserve the bandwidth and will deprive the others from accessing the Internet. How can I use the iptables firewall rules to control the bandwidth?? Regards Bassam --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
