Do you really want to reserve bandwidth, or guarantee QOS quality of service to the 'vip'? <><Randy <><Randall Grimshaw Room 203 Machinery Hall Syracuse University Syracuse, NY 13244 315-443-5779 rgrimsha@xxxxxxx >>> zottmann <zottmann@xxxxxxxxx> 5/18/2006 9:11:18 AM >>> Hi !! Our management asked us to reserve some bandwidth to our vip users, and, as we use Squid proxy, I was thinking that we could achieve it by setting an outgoing ip address at the Squid proxy based on the user´s group, and reserve bandwidth at the iptables firewall based on this ip address. Is this feasible? Can we reserve bandwidth with iptables alone, or shoule we use another product as well? Thanks in advance, Carlos.
