CBQ in Mandriva 2006

ovan · 05-30-2007, 09:58 PM

I would like to use CBQ to managed & limiting my LAN bandwidth, right now i use mandriva 2006 as operating system. Here we go...
I have 192.168.0.1 until 192.168.0.40
Which i would like to limit is 192.168.0.17 until 40
for 192.168.0.1 until 16 is totally free unlimited.

My plan is limiting those IP's for max up stream & down stream in 64 Kbps, i rad in some blogs that CBQ could be installed & managed by webmin in mandriva.

Is anybody can help on this please...

CBQ is pretty easy to configure, take a look on examples:

Code:

DEVICE=eth0,10Mbit,1Mbit
RATE=128Kbit
WEIGHT=10Kbit
PRIO=5
RULE=192.128.1.0/24

If you have the script "cbqinit" installed, open it and read, you will find things realy usefull like:

Code:

#       <ifname> is the name of the interface you want to control
#               traffic on, e.g. eth0
#       <bandwidth> is the physical bandwidth of the device, e.g. for
#               ethernet 10Mbit or 100Mbit, for arcnet 2Mbit
#       <weight> is tuning parameter that should be proportional to
#               <bandwidth>. As a rule of thumb: <weight> = <bandwidth> / 10

And so on...

If you have any doubt just post here and I will try to help you, but I tell you... CBQ is not very good, I managed a firewall with about 15-20Mbits of traffic and CBQ was just terrible for limmiting bandwidth, HTB works pretty much better!
