Port 80 (HTTP) issue

[xaviero]

hello guys,

i got confused for port 80.
port 80 was used for browsing webpage, while in this port, user can download any application.

how i can limit port 80 for download leecher ?
i set the traffic shaper at qp2p_up n qp2p_down in 64Kb
it work for leecher, limit the downloader about 64Kb

but for net surfer, 64Kbps seems like to slow…. i need it set to about 256Kb

how can it set in traffic shaper?

thanks

no one suggestion ??? :(

I think maybe you can set it to burst traffic for xx milliseconds, if this is set correctly then web-surfers will get xx bandwidth for xx milliseconds, allowing a typical page to download fast. But after xx milliseconds it will slow down, this would kind of make downloads slow.

I think this is correct, do a search for burst.

bursting is a good idea, but consider the worst case like this:

• i have 20 pc stations, but temporary only 10 actives
• i only have 1Mbps downlink
• if i limit 64kbps, burst 128kbps…, it means i must be had 128kbpsx10stations = 1280kbps which mean i dont have enough bandwidth :(

That doesn't work like that. Those numbers are maximum values for the whole queue, not for individual users.

so thats not a good method that i need…

Have you at least tested it to see?

finally, after several trial n error, i decided use squid… there is an option , which is throttle bandwidth...

One problem with using bursting to "prioritize" web browsing over http downloads is that you need to set a hard upper limit as m2, meaning that even if there is only 1 client online, he can only use that limited bandwidth to download, which is a bit of a waste IMO.

It would be nice if there was some way to give a higher priority to bursts without having to specify a hard limit, so that the full bandwidth could be used at all times…
