Re: [LARTC] Need some help on HTB and IMQ
Hi, There is no options at all to 'shape' upload+download=fixed bandwidth without using IMQ virtual device ? So if somebody is planning to give customer fixed bandwidth regarless if a customer is 'uploading' or 'downloading',he (or she:) MUST use IMQ virtual device ? Anybody did some tests of configuring same traffic shaping with and without using IMQ device ? How IMQ device (kernel) will behave on heavy load traffic (like VoIP,gaming,other 'real-time' traffic) comparing on mashine without using IMQ virtual device ? Does anybody did some test on using u32 filter and fw filter ? How does each one behave on same mashine,same kernel,same traffic shaping configuration ? f2zubac On Mon, 24 Feb 2003, Stef Coene wrote: On Monday 24 February 2003 21:19, hanumantha kavuluru wrote: Hi All, Thanks for the help. Stef, our product is already out in the market with 2.4.18 kernel. So if we change the kernel, we will have to go through a full QA cycle which is something we don't want to do :). Ok BTW, I would like to have global limits on the Bandwidth per user irrespective of which interface the traffic might go.Can i do this without using IMQ? So you want up + down = fixed bandwidth? Then you need IMQ. Also i want to do my own classification by setting the skb-priority field with the appropriate class ID. Is it possible to use this kind of classification with IMQ and HTB? I don't know the internals of tc, but I think you can do.

Re: [LARTC] question re: longer-period fair sharing
Hi, Try a VPN solution with RADIUS accounting for amount of bytes each user had transmit over the network.Radius protocol can do accounting bytes (octects actually) as well 'online' time.In that way,You can have multiple business policies for clients,one for kids,one for family,one for guests,etc... This solution maybe enters some delay in TCP/IP protocol,but guarantee You secure connections (no more sniffing:),and You won't have possible trouble about filtering MAC addresses of malicius clients trying to forge their IP numbers if You have 'layer 3 accounting solution' :) When they exceed the payed amount of bytes,simply that account won't be in use anymore :) Hope this help :) f2zubac On Wed, 16 Oct 2002, Thomas Vander Stichele wrote: Hi, I've been asked something I couldn't really give an answer to out of the box. Someone I know wants to do fair bandwidth sharing over long periods. The period would be related to the provider's capping period ;) So, for example, if five people share one connection, and the ISP allows 10 GB per month of traffic, each person could only use 2 GB per month, and be effectively turned off when passing that limit. Now, my question is - has anyone done anything similar ? I'd think that this application would lean more to an approach that just does accounting by the hour,, for example, and turn off net access through firewall rules based on those values. Also, it would probably have to store intermediate accounting values to disk instead of keep everything in memory. What do you guys think ?

Re: [LARTC] RADIUS? Traffic Accounting and VPN (PPTP)
Hi, You can always use pppd (which VPN uses),and radiusclient to do IP accounting via internal or external radius server.Radius protocol can account time as well as byte octets,it depends only on You what things You'd like to account :) Dragan Zubac On Wed, 31 Jul 2002, Don Gould wrote: Hi All, I'm trying to find the right tools to be able to track the amount of data that my users and pulling accross our VPN links.
