throtteling bandwidth to gateway IP

Hi there,

I am trying to get my file server to talk to my router with the bandwidth
that the internet connection can do, mainly because I use the file server
to do p2p, and at the moment my router is swamped with packages, which
makes my internet experience (especially SSH) behave somewhat sluggish.

Is there an easy way to restrict bandwidth to a certain IP (either
gateway, or ALL IP's other than my internal network)?
I looked at LARC, but I have to admit that I have trouble understanding it
well enough to write my own filters.

Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.

WonderShaper

I should think you would have found this if you had groups.google'd for
it.

Dear Cameron,

I did have a longer look at wondershaper indeed. However, the script
provided assumes that the Linux machine is doing NAT, and therefore uses a
very simple global restriction on bandwidth on the outgoing eth device,
which is not usable for me.

I did have a look at HTB traffic shaping, but somehow I cannot make my
filters work as expected.

This is what I thought that would work:
../tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 12
../tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 100000kbps
../tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 100000kbps
../tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:11 htb rate 500kbps
../tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:12 htb rate 200kbps


# ./tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip sport 4669
0xfff flowid 1:11
# ./tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip dport 4669
0xfff flowid 1:12
./tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip src
192.168.1.1/32 flowid 1:11
./tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip dst
192.168.1.1/32 flowid 1:11
./tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip dst
192.168.1.11/32 flowid 1:1
./tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip src
192.168.1.11/32 flowid 1:1

# ./tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip src
192.168.1/24 flowid 1:10
# ./tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip prio 2 u32 match ip dst
192.168.1/24 flowid 1:10


Basically, I thought I can *either* just restict traffic from/to my
gateway, *or* restrict the incoming and outgoing ports, *or* restrict all
traffic EXCEPT the one doing from/to my local machines.

The above script shows my various attempts...

can you help? anybody?
