Good morning
I need a little help here
I have looked around for this but either i can’t find what i’m looking for or i did find, didn’t fully understand it, and thought it was not what i’m looking for.
Either way i need a little help.
right first one,
How do i go about creating a throttle on a port, nothing fancy, just a straight throttle for anything coming through that port, say a max of 2 mb for all traffic
next, a little trickier, doing the same thing but for a per ip basis, each ip, going through that port, gets a max of 2 mb.
Look up PCQ for queues, that will likely be the solution you want to use. Simple Queues can also serve that function, but aren’t as efficient. QoS and queues are an in depth subject. It’s best to read the wiki examples and search the forums, and once you have a basic understanding of what is going on, then ask specific questions you may have.
Something to be aware of that catches a lot of people, if you are performing NAT on the router, you can not use the interface-out queues with PCQ, since it will see the address after the NAT. Instead you need to use Global-out. Since both upload and download traffic go through Global-out, you need to mark upload and download packets separately, which can be a bit of a pain. If you aren’t doing NAT, though, interface-out is the preferred method.
okay, so currently i do not run nat in which case QOS will be simple but at a later stage (when i get it working, having issues with this bit) when i get my 750 to dial the ADSL for me, i’ll need to learn the other bit of the QOS
bit of help here. in that presentation he spoke of another presentation where the packet flow diagram was talked about. was that presentation recorded? i really watch to see what he spoke of as i need a little help understanding it fully
