Distingiush between Browsing traffic and downloading?

[FNC]

Hello Every Body.
well is there a way  Distingiush between Browsing traffic and downloading?

[Ricky]

Ofcourse.. downloading is usually files like video files , zip files, .exe files and browsing is usually html files and pictures.

Thanks ricky for ur answer, but i mean if u have a server with 2 internet connections, can u route all downloading traffice through one gateway and other traffic throught the second gateway. if yes does it work effectively . Hope you got my point and thanks in advance

[Ricky]

I am not that much into scripting but yes you can do same using iptables and bash scripting. Problem is that I know it is possible but can't help further.

Other way is that you can use squid to load balance your traffic.

sorry ricky maybe it is out of topic her, but it is part of the same project i am doing. is there a linux version or is there a way to develop a hotspot system on a linux distro?

[Ricky]

ya, you may do that
Umm.. I have seen really nice linux distro specially for hotspot purpose but no idea for doing that. May be someone else can help you.

[Ricky]
