[SOLVED] streaming server bandwidth overload solution with iptables. Question.

markotitel · 07-20-2016, 12:15 PM

I have several servers that are used with nginx and mp4 module for streaming.

I was searching several variants of the same topic regarding iptables, tc, htb and rate limiting.

What I cannot find is: is it possibile to create a rule which will limit every connection on port 80 to specific speed.

What will I achieve with this is equal bandwidth alocation for each user that is downloading the stream.

Thing is that IP addresses are not known upfront.

After little bit of a break, I will go for the Squid reverse proxy with delay pools.

Here is config that works fine. Limits all stream downloaders.

About 300 hundred users per server cpu barely notices anything.
