Fwd: bytelimit match (traffic shaping)
I forward this to debian-isp in case somebody is interested... I made a patch for netfilter (iptables) allowing to do easy traffic shaping. I tried to make a "clean" patch of my bytelimit match. I don't know if I've done the Right Thing (could someone point me to the house rules for netfilter patches?), but a tarball with patch-o-matic files, a kernel patch, and a diff against the userland tools is available at http://metaone.univ-mlv.fr/~skaya/ipt_bytelimit/ (it's also attached to this mail). I would really appreciate some feedback ; we use this bytelimit match here on a router to control the bandwidth of a high traffic web server, and it runs fine ; I'm planning some evolutions (RED packet dropping, IPV6 support ; and if I'm clever enough to grok something with the conntrack code, fair queuing), but I'd prefer to start on solid ground ... thanks by advance.
