Re: [LARTC] Is Linux based Router feasible
I've a local LAN consisting of about 150 machines. I'm using a Linux machine as the gateway machine which inturn connects to two different ISPs. My question is can a Linux based machine match the performance of a How fast is your internet connection? A Pentium 133 will happily run wire speed for 10M ether, and most places don't have 10M of incoming bandwidth... for reference, we have a Duron 800 running 3 net connections for a total of about 10M with virtually no load. -- Michael 'Moose' Dinn, Twisted Pair Network Consulting Incorporated [EMAIL PROTECTED] // 902 423 4700 (voice) // [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ LARTC mailing list / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
[LARTC] Anyone with a similar setup want to share their setup?
Hi! We currently have T1 to provider A, T1 for peering only to provider B, and 10M Ethernet to provider C. A and B bill is a fixed rate, C bills us based on usage. We have 4 interfaces on our router, one facing each provider, and the last facing ourselves. I'd like to rate-limit provider C to a given amount - I can do that outbound easily enough, how about inbound - anyone got a sample? I could throw in a second machine doing bridging and rate limiting, but that doesn't seem like much fun. -- Michael 'Moose' Dinn, Twisted Pair Network Consulting Incorporated [EMAIL PROTECTED] // 902 423 4700 (voice) // 902 423 8407 (fax) Colocate your server in our underground bunker! ___ LARTC mailing list / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
