Has anyone some advice on how to setup a router with bandwidth management?
My proposed setup:
I would like to set up a router to connect a small LAN with approx 50 Hosts to
the Internet.
The router will have two eth devices
eth0 connected to the outside world
eth1 connected to the private LAN
Traffic in both direction should be throttled to 256kBit/s.
Then I would like to assign some sort of priority to certain hosts.
Some hosts should have a better connectivity then others.
If we have no traffic then the communicating host should see the full bandwidth
(in our case 256kBit/s).
If N hosts are communicating then every host should see at least a fraction of
the bandwidth according to its priority.
For example:
Host A has twice the priority of host B and C. Then if only one of them has an
open stream they should see 256kBit/s. If all of them are communicating then
host A should see something like 128kBit/s and host B and C should see each see
bit.
That is my dream :-)).
Can somebody point me to some QoS resources.
I'm pretty shure somebody else has done this already. So it would be
wonderful to get some insight about how to do it and who not to do it.
Looking forward to hearing from you
