Submission + - LAN trafficshaping to get the most out of your ISP 1
Barryke writes: I'm looking for a easy to set up traffic shaping solution, for a small LAN.
After spending over a year toying with software, reading more about Linux than i'd ever thought, i'm no further.
Is there "Traffic Shaping Made Easy" software out there?
Sharing my 1/10Mbps internet uplink with 4 people isn't the best of joys. Especially if someone pushes the upload to its limits. The rest of the network users will experience timeouts due to the ISP enforced ADSL QoS/Limit. How to avoid this?
I would like to know how you guys solved this problem, as i'm sure i'm not the first.
How to spread the available uplink bandwidth evenly?
Five people using a 1000Kbps (100KB/s) uplink breaks down on each being guarentied to 1/5th of it.
This is a start, but what if 3 users aren't uploading at all? It would be a waste to not utilize it.
So in short:
- Each user has several fixed IP's.
- Each user has a guarentied 20KB/s uplink.
- Bandwidth not utilized by other users may be put to good use.
The trick is in the above line.
How to dynamicly allocate this not utilized bandwidth to the active users?
I've stranded there, as i'm not that experienced at linux.
Maybe you guys have some insights, what is the best solution?
