I want to put a bandwidth limit on the 8000 port. The limit not have to be global! It must be per connection! For example if i put a 20kB/s limit on the 8000 port and I have 3 clients connected to the port, i want that each have the 20kB/s. How can I do that? I readed something about TC, but i don`t know how to use it... I`m a little noobie Sorry for my bad english

Use a managed switch. One like this: http://www.vedt.nl/longshine/apps/gs8208.html or http://longshine.de/longshine/produc...S8208A_eng.pdf

You can now limit per connection. In other cases... I don't know...

i have a dedicated server. no phisical access. i have just terminal access. i readed about tc with tbf but i dont know how to write the rules

I want to make a limit like this:

192.168.0.4 -> 64kbps
192.168.0.4 -> 64kbps
192.168.0.4 -> 64kbps
ANOTHER IP -> 64kbps
ANOTHER IP -> 64kbps

Each connection to the port from any IP, have to be limited to 64kbps. If a single IP connects 3 times simultaneously i want each connection to be limited to 64kbps. How can I do this?

nobody knows? Is it that complicated?

You received two suggestions. Did you try them? What were the results? Or maybe you ignored them? Hint: you won't get favorable responses if you simply ignore the ones offered.

I received just a suggestion (the managed switch) and I already answered. I do not have physical access to the server. is a dedicated server and I can not mount switches and other devices. limiting must be made in linux

alexxxutz,

I'm going to chime in here, and I could be wrong - but about the only way I see that you can rate limit Ethernet connections to your server will be to "create" individual interfaces for each connection. The only way I can think of to do that would be pppoe. As a connection is made, a virtual interface is created, and is controllable via simple commands, or implemented the "right" way that connection would be controllable via radius.

The only other way I can think of would be to employ a proxy server like squid, but I don't know squid well enough to be sure.

So there it is, if I'm wrong I'll consider myself to have been slapped with a large trout.
