Bandwith Limiting / Download Quota's - How?

Bandwith Limiting / Download Quota's - How?

Post by Dave Fitche » Wed, 06 Jun 2001 11:03:53



ok, I'm running a Linux system as an internet gateway for the LAN.
I want to put bandwith limits [ie; 5k/sec] on certain LAN IP addresses and
set download quotas [ie; 50mb/day] on certain LAN IP's...

Result being for example:

192.168.0.5 can only download at a max of 5k/sec and has a limit of 50mb
downloads/day.

How can this be done???

This is the only program I know that will do it for linux.  I wanted to
try it out at one point but could not get a copy.

Linux has actually very advanced routing and traffic control.  It is
also very generic and low-level.  This is good if you need maximum
control and is bad if you have not got the time to learn all the
intricacies.  For traffic control:
        <http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO.html>

The documentation is not yet complete.  If you can't figure it out
send me an email and I'll send you my TC config as a starting point.
(I am still learning this myself, so don't expect something polished.)

I have not seen anything to automatically enforce download quotas, but
it shouldn't be too hard to write a suitable script.

Hmm, that page gives a 404, but <http://www.etinc.com/> is fine.

Without downloading it, this looks like you need to buy some hardware
if you want to use the software.  Is that correct?
