All of my clients are rate limited. I would like to give them a faster connection to my local ftp for downloading large xp service packs etc so that they do not download over the internet and chew up bandwidth.
I cannot seem to get past their rate limited accounts. The ftp is on the internal wireless network which can handle 11mbps. Most of the accounts are rated to 128kbps and 512kbps. I want them to have at least 1mbps for the ftp.
Please advise
I assume you are rate limiting with hotspot?
In that case, the rules are applied to the global out and global in queues… So I think what you are going to have to do is flow mark the packets using mangle and then create a rule to give those packets a higher bandwidth.
You’ll have to play around to figure out where you need to put the FTP rule, but I think it should be a in the simple queue, placed first in the simple queues so that it will catch all the FTP packets before the other rules (i.e. the limiting rules for the IP address), kick in. Anyway thats what I would try first.
Good luck queues are a pain.
No I have rate limited via PPP profiles which seems to take precedence over everything else. I know it can be done somehow because I have used a system set up like that but could not get the owner to part with the info.
