Limit P2P using simple Queues performance and stability.

Tue Apr 15, 2008 4:18 pm

Hi, I´m planning to create a simple queue to limit P2P (using all-p2p rule) on my Mk router.

This router has about 20Mbits of bandwidth usage and about 400 PPPoE online users.

It´s a dual core machine with multi-cpu=yes. CPU usage is very low.

It´s safe to use P2P rules is this case?

Can I put the rule to match all traffic to be analyzed by P2P rule or I need to match only some tcp/udp ports to reduce performance impact?

Anybody here is using it with success without much performance impact?

Thanks for reply. Do you use PPPoE clients?

When I create a simple queue to limit P2P I need to put it before PPPoE dynamic queues to work, but when I do that my users can download the sum of these two queues. if traffic is P2P only the static simple queue I created is matched and for other traffic is will use PPPoE dynamic queue, so the user can use more bandwidth.

How did you solve it?

Are you trying to limit p2p for all users or each user individually?

I´m trying to limit all users with one queue.

Should be a simple PCQ queue

But how change the queue type will help on it?

I think the problem is that both PPPoE shape queue and P2P queue has no parent.

This is an important information. Do you know which P2P protocol do that? If it happens on a specific protocol I´ll not use it.
