 |
|
Does anyone have any pointers for creating a rate limiter based on per user or IP? I am looking to create a bridge that limits the connection rate of each user, not the total.
Thanks, |

Well, if you can settle for per-computer limiting than the reqular QoS that comes with the kernel should do it.

Can you elaborate? Is it so simple that I've just overlooked it?
I need to limit the download speeds across a cluster, on a per user or per computer basis (remote user). The idea was to put a transparent bridge in front to manage the usage.
Thanks! |

With ip-tables you should be able to tag each datastream depending on which of you computers it is connected to.
Then you should be able to use the QoS to set down the bandwidth rules for the streams.
The linux filtering and routing howto is a very good source of info.
It isn't simple, but easily doable if you read the right help-texts.
