Hi guys,
I’ve been offering same bandwidth for local and international traffic, but it has not been very cost effective, cause international bandwidth is 20x more expensive than national traffic. For that reason I would like to set different limits for international and local traffic. I’ve been thinking of two possible ways to do that:
use address lists and simple queue
use two different edge routers, one for local traffic and the second one for international and use different vlans to access each one.
As long as the traffic volume is not too much to overload a single router, why not separate traffic by physical port? This would simplify marking rules. Then put them into a Queue Tree to rate limit them.
Hi pcnuite,
Thank you for your reply, the thing is I want to do that in our edge router, then we’ve 10 smaller routers and all our CPEs are in router mode…
When the new routing is released you will be able to do this.
It will allow you to add prefixes to an address list with a filter, you can then mark packets based on the address list.
So you would add communities to domestic vs international routes then create address lists from these using filters. This would work on all routers on your network as long as they receive the communities.
Hi,
I’ve more information on this topic…here’s the situation, our competitor offers monitoring services of the client bandwidth (domestic and international bandwidth), I suspect that the only way to do that is to use 2 VLANs, one for international and the other for national bandwidth, right?
if your ISP gives you bgp you can mark the “national” routes and then mark packets based on those routes, and then the “international” traffic would be what’s left after the “national” has been marked.
