Hi all,

is there any way to balance the upload speed for IP? I want to do this because one of my LAN mate is uploading too much data to the internet and because of he, others can't play games via internet well

Any suggestions how to slow down upload?

You'd have to tell us how your lan is structured first
How does it connect to the internet?
Router? or do you have your own computer that acts like a gateway?

Off the top of my head I can think of
three possibilities...

1. use iptables:
http://www.netfilter.org/documentati...ase.html#quota

2. use the kernel traffic shaper modules:
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/shaper.txt

3. Use one of the hits from there ;)

Cheers,

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic control - http://lartc.org

Start with their wshaper script and work from there.

Like Tinkster said, you didn't tell us your setup, but this will work if you have a linux box as a firewall/router.

well my internet connection is kinda difficult, i have connected 3 dsl lines (320/128; 256/64; 256/64 (first is static and the other are dynamic) and i share all to my LAN. I'm using iproute2 for balancing dsl's.

eth0 is connected to my LAN (192.168.0.1)

I will try to balance upload with the shaper. Maybe someone has an example script or something? It will be much easier for me..
