How to limit specific IP's bandwidth with shaper

Alan87i

So Can I make multiple queues All the same just give each one a different name ?
IE 5Mb for 2 minutes and 1Mb after for down /name ip1down
and 400Kb for 2 minutes and 100 Kb after for Up /name ip1up

same as above name ip2down – ip2up

yes, you only need to make sure and use each queue for a single IP/rule, single host or alias, and select the correct penalty queue,
the images are from one of my working boxes..

One question .
On the second Image from your last post is that A Down rule/ Queue ?
I see you have the IP as the source! and the IN Interface is LAN out is WAN.

After Pondering this till my nose bled I figured for Inbound , In interface is set to WAN Out is set to LAN , Protocol (any) The Source is left blank ,, Destination is set IP address .

I'm setting for up loads as well and my outbound page looks like your second image.

The way I have set it up works for downloads on my laptop , Haven't tested Uploads yet.

What I really want to know is Can I use the same down queue and UP queue for more than 1 IP address/ user?
For kicks I set a second user up on the same Queue's as my laptop , didn't get and filter errors on the reload. I'll wait and see if the phone starts ringing.

1 rule I made seems to work

I just tried to set this up and it doesnt seem to be working. I have an alix board with wan, lan and opt1. I have set the opt1 interface to be the penaly box. Is this possible with 1.2.3?

Alan87i

No idea I would use a lan IP
I also figured out that this don't work at all if you have squid running and proxy set on the browser. Too bad

Go to 2.0?!

@ermal:

Go to 2.0?!

thanks, so is it a fact that 1.2.3 cant shape both lan and opt at the same time?

Because the importance to limit downloads in my network is priority, i dont use upload limits, but i tested both ways several months ago and it worked really fine, and is so simple like the swap of the source and destination in the individual queue, to create an upload queue ,and in the rules CHANGE THE TARGET from WANDEF (the default for upload) to your particular created queue, this way both queues work simultaneously for one IP, so you have upload and download limited to a single user.

I´ll post images from a rule with upload and download limits for one ip.

I have messed with this for hours.
I made a down queue and an UP load queue.
The download queue Rule is attached . And works fine. And I also have Lusca cache running with Firefox set to AUTO detect and a video from live leak seemed to cache and played from the cache on my test machine I watched the queues page at the same time and saw the bar and Mb count rise for my test queue to 3.5 Mb down. While the traffic graph showed 0 to 3 Kb . Oh and the video loaded in 10 seconds on the Test machine and took 4 minutes on my desktop the first time. And it loaded from the cache at the speed set by the queue for download. I have tried this test several times , I first watch /load a video on my desktop , Graph shows 1.x too 2.x Mb Inbound . Send the link Now to 2 other machines on the lan with a DL queue and a dl rule set to 5 Mb for 1 minute . When either test machine clicks the link traffic stays at next to 0 as normal , So it reads it from the cache , The queues page shows the queue speed tapping out at 5 mb then stops because the video loaded in under 1 minute.

But I cannot make an UP load queue that the filter doesn't have a fit over or works if the filter reloads fine.

Looking for any help at all . Thanks

Ahhh, I think i figured out my problem, the traffic I was trying to shape was on the OPT1 interface, I forgot to change it to OPT1>WAN, WAN>OPT1 instead of the default LAN>WAN, WAN>LAN in the traffic shaping rules

Alan87i

I followed this guideline and made 7 queues and 7 rules 1 for each. I can sit at the PC for the last rule I made and hog the net all I want while watching the queues page I see no traffic being passed. This system doesn't have squid running.
While the first few queues are working and dropping the speed to the set Kbps after the set time limit.
Any Ideas ?
