I run a small WISP in Central America. Our 4 meg symmetrical connection is very expensive.
Currently I use Simple Queues with bursting and it has worked very well with the exception of 7 clients.
1meg for about 15 seconds and then drops to 512k. This gives the common browser a 1 meg level of service when just browsing.
P2P 24/7 hurts and UTORRENT encrypted can get past anything I setup to block it.
All my clients agreed to no file sharing, and no downloading 24/7. But as all of you know, it never works.
I need traffic shaping that is progressive. Maybe three or four levels.
1meg / 512k / 100k / 56k
Or it could be done by bandwidth used in a certain time frame.
I just want the connection to go from fast to basically a crawl when extensive downloading is taking place.
Any ideas? I’m sure I’m not the only one in this situation.
And on another note: Newbies, don’t run DUDE as a package on an AP unless you want some terrible results. It’s great until something goes wrong. Run it locally and it’s a great app once you get around a couple bugs.
