Traffic shaper changes [90% completed, please send money to complete bounty]
-
Hi,
we've spent a lot of time looking at traffic shaping, and really like the approach of bandwidthabitrator.net, which is to…
... do nothing until pipe is 85% full (user specifiable)
... if > 85% then clamp specific connections that have the highest bytes transferred and longest connection time. (Clamp as in introduce some latency to slow 'em down). This happens pretty quickly and then the process is repeated...
Advantages:
* super easy to set up
* gets the pesky p2p stuff even if on port 80
* allows all users to get lots of bandwidth without the risk of them bogging down other users when it's busy.pftop already does all the stats for finding the offending connections, it just needs a clever head to work out how to slow down those particular connections.
I realize this is significantly different to existing traffic shaper work, so please make a new thread if approp. We'll donate US$500 up front if someone takes this up.
Thanks,
CraigI think the new shaper is superior than this.
Not currently, but for 1.3 will be ready a discipline that does that but better in many ways.You can do such configuration and people seem pretty happy with it(HFSC). Though you have to identify traffic properly.
If you want to still donate that money i will make sure that a feature to better identify traffic goes in for 1.3.
Which would allow finding P2P and other traffic on any port! -
Can you name and shame these ungratful people and also say how much you are short by of what the original plegdes are. thanks

Sorry,
for me!!! "name and shame" is also a bad style.It is here a pillory? To educate people here is pointless, only the changes of the bounty-system is an option, but this is only my opinion!

Hi, Eri– will the new shaper support the embedded version before major inclusion with 1.3? If so I'll defiantly throw-in for this. I have a couple embedded pfSense box's including a firebox with 5 ethernet ports and this would be a excellent enhancement.
-
Yes.

Wow, Heiko you are really stepping up to the plate to fill in where others have let us down! Thank you so much for supporting the project.

Is there any ETA on this? The IT administrator here has committed to me to donate to the cause, but he wants some sort of timeframe.
Thanks

Although the outcome of the project looks very impressive and (from the looks of it) worth every penny it would be improper to just blame pledges for not following though as the project was vague on the features and is taking longer to complete that many might have expected.
Anyway, as you revise bounty rules, I would suggest that there should be a way to send money to the project after the project has completed. I would be happy to send money if the particular feature does fit my needs, has no bugs (works with other packages I use) and is actively maintained.

… I would suggest that there should be a way to send money to the project after the project has completed.
Just send it to Chris Buechler's paypal address as mentioned before in this thread. That's how I just did it.
As we have seen here, paying afterwards doesn't work well. Maybe some kind of deposit would do, bit I would consider Chris' account as just this.
