compared with external "mod_bw.so" IMHO this is a design mistake * saying i have several virtual hosts * my line has a capacity of 512 KB/Sec * one of the virtual hosts starts to have high traffic and abuses my upstream * "SetEnv rate-limit 256" limits each client to 256 KB/sec at it's own * two of them abuse my upstream completly ______________________ http://bwmod.sourceforge.net http://mariusvw.com/tag/mod_bw/ would limit the one vhost to 256 KB/sec. meaning in the case of 3 connections each would get 85 KB/sec. and the half of my available bandwidth is for other vhosts there is another interesting implementation detail of mod_bw "LargeFileLimit * 500 786432" would only limit the bandwidth of files larger than 500 KB what is perfect in many cases to prevent line-overload by large downloads while respond with full performance to normal website-requests to serve small requests as quick as possible and prevnbt run out of workers <IfModule mod_bw.c> BandWidthModule On ForceBandWidthModule On LargeFileLimit * 500 786432 </IfModule>
