Alow all,
I just know Linux less than 1 week (Jun 28, 2005). And I need help (or clue) on how to limit the b/w for each client. Please make a very very simple teaching on how to make delay pools for each clients because I am very very newbie in Linux world and my technical skill is average. Assume I already have Fedora3 and the Squid installed on it. Using DHCP.
My configuration router => eth0 => fedora3 (squid) => eth1 => switch => clients.
say the local Lan (DHCP) range from 192.168.2.xx
The client already running through squid.
Is it possible to limit the b/w for each clients like this (What is The best scenario for manage the bandwitdth according to you) :
1. ClientA (for internet) limited to 9 kbps upload / download for example. So if the user upload photos to friendster or attachment for example, it would't make lagging for the other user.
Or It is okay just to create delay pools, so the problem I described (upload / download that cause lagging to other user) can be minimized. Because some user may be open many browser at once, so the b/w resource is taken by himself / herself.
2. Other people say just using iptables to manage the b/w. If you think this way better, how to make the scripts. I need very clear and simple , so I can easily understand.
If using squid b/w limiter is more easy and simple, please give a clue how to set it up. (either delay pools or direct limitation b/w per client.). I need your advise / help how to handle the b/w problem using squid so it would cause lagging for other user.
