Re: [LI] Bandwith Allocation for protocols

Dear Umesh,
Hardware routers like Cisco have a facility of bandwith allocation for the protocols. You could choose the protocol and assign the weightage accordingly. I do not know if you could do the allocation at the Linux box. But even if it is possible it will add load on your Linux box as it is already doing a firewall job. 

Hope this helps.

Hi everybody,

My company has 2 development centres connected by a microwave link
i use hardware routers at the end of the microwave modems.

i want to allocate specific amount of bandwidth to the different protocols
for e.g. 64 kbps for HTTP
32 kbps for TN3270 etc. etc.

it is possible to put a linux box before the router; and do some bandwidth
allocation in the linux box .
P.S. i have used IPCHAINS for firewalling. not done any queuing etc on linux 
routers. any pointers or step-by-step guides would be a real lot useful.

Thanks a lot for your time
