I have a couple of devices that suck bandwidth, but I want to use them.
They have no way of limiting the bandwidth on the device itself, and I
can't figure out how to limit the bandwidth on my wifi router to just a few
devices.
Is there a way to limit bandwidth allowed to the devices?
Other
Depends on what we're working with. Personally, I've not found many
consumer grade home routers that do per-device bandwidth control. However,
I'm sure it can be done with a DIY Linux router. Maybe iptables + tc or
something like that? Also pfSense has this capability as well. Then, of
course
Look for a QoS setting

Quality of Service setting would do exactly what you are looking for.
What router do you have?

Last time I looked at this problem, there are a couple ways to deal with it.
On linux, you can drop packets from a device into a bucket, and then prioritize
the buckets. This will give the bandwidth hogs all the bandwidth that is left
over after all other traffic is handled.
Of course you can
TCP is designed to deal with this natively, and you can significantly
influence how it acts if you understand the algorithm and control a point
in the middle, especially if you control at least one end of the bottleneck.
UDP presents a challenge if the bottleneck is above you inbound.
What is
Do you need to limit the bandwidth to a particular amount that might
coincide with Ethernet speed? For example, could you force a network
interface card or port on a switch to run at 100 mbps or 10 mbps, thereby
limiting consumption to the speed of the interface?
This isn't ideal, but another
I have a handful of CentOS servers running various bits and pieces for a
small WISP. These servers are spread across bare metal, esxi virtual
machines and a couple kvm guests. In due time, I expect the esxi host to
be removed and it's machines migrated/moved to kvm.
Each server does one thing,
I use spacewalk and puppet for even just my home ecosystem. Wouldn't go
back. It makes management of updates etc so much easier.

What features of spacewalk are you using? I'm in this area where the whole
idea looks cool and seems impressive, but I do wonder how much profit I'll
get out of all the setup and additional maintenance.
Thanks,

If you are taking care of a lot of RHEL or CentOS boxes, the answer is
Yes! I use it to kickstart my servers, both physical and virtual. I
use it to maintance and patch my servers. You can also use it to
monitor them as well. Can use it as a low level cvs for conifig files,

So you understand, it only takes about 10 minutes to set up on a new vm.
Just have a postgres server somewhere for the database. The only slow part
is waiting for the channels to sync.
Just make sure you have a locally usable FQDN already configured on the box

I've attempted a setup in the past, maybe 2 years ago now. The
installation was pretty quick. Just added their repo, and did some yum
installs. However, once I was up and running and I never could quite
figure out how to get from I have a new spacewalk server up to actually
having the channels
Happy to help if you have questions.
Suggest making a master channel with no packages for the major version, and
using child channels even for the base channel. It makes it much easier to
do point upgrades later.

it goes. Sounds like I will benefit from this.

I created a script that can help you put down the repo, you are
welcome to use. You will need to adjust to your changes. I use it as a
cron job to make sure I am update today, and a way to pull files once
I got a box created.

I found that the Zonet router I am using (no longer made) has a
'bandwidth' option, where it will limit bandwidth to particular IP
addresses, and even on DHCP, you can bind an ether address to a
particular DHCP IP adresse, giving a 'fixed' address to equipment.
Anyway, the bandwidth limiting
