I am looking into setting up bandwidth limiting using cbq on Suse 9.1.

I have a few questions though before I spend hours reading the man pages as they are quite heavy going.

1). Are there any quirks or issues using the 2.6 kernels ? 2). Will this work on a firewall that is using NAT ? Because all the traffic going out originates from the same IP.

I use at home, without problems (the firewall and the NAT machine is the same machine).

3). Is it possible to use traffic shaping to split a connection (ADSL) four ways, so each user is guaranteed a quarter of the bandwidth, and also, to allow the other users to share unused bandwidth while a user is offline ??

I think it is possible, but not with my actual knowledge. I'm still looking for this; if you find, please share with us. (cc: lazarini_at_nics.unicamp.br please)

4). Can anyone point me at some documentation on this - howto's or examples ? The examples I have seen are all fairly complex.

http://lartc.org/ In particular, the files at http://lartc.org/#download This is a *super complete* documentation, but is easy to understand, if you follow the chapters. In particular, I'm using tbf now (token bucket filter), but plan to move to htb (hierarchical token bucket). Yes, if you have read Tanenbaum's Computer Networks, it will be somewhat easier... :-) BTW, in the gateway you can use very cool statistic programs, like nload (network load), pppstatus, iptraf, mrtg, rrdtool, etc, etc, etc

Thanks for everyones replies on this. I intend to have a play with this over the weekend so I will post my results etc next week.

I will try to document what I have done incase it helps anyone else.

Just the right spirit :-)

Thanks all Richard

Hello,

Is there any GUI for HTB ???

Not that I know - sorry. Or it's hidden as a part of some "traffic-accounting" package.

thanks in ADV.
