-!!!1. Introduction
-
-The purpose of this guide is to provide an easy solution for limiting incoming
-traffic, thus preventing our LAN
-users from consuming all the bandwidth of our internet link.
-
-
-
-This is useful when our internet link is slow or our LAN users
-download tons of mp3s and the newest Linux distro's *.iso files.

-
-----
-!!!2. Before We Start
-
-Let's imagine the following situation:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-*
-
-We have 115,2 kbits/s ppp (modem) internet link (115,2/10
-= 11,5 kbytes/s). Note: with eth connections
-(network card) we would divide 115,2 by 8; with ppp we divide by 10, because
-of start/stop bits (8 + 1 + 1 = 10).
-
-
-*
-*
-
-We have some LAN stations and their users are doing bulk downloads
-all the time.
-
-
-*
-*
-
-We want web pages to open fast, no matter how
-many dowloads are happening.
-
-
-*
-*
-
-Our internet interface is __ppp0__.
-
-
-*
-*
-
-Our LAN interface is __eth0__.
-
-
-*
-*
-
-Our network is 192.168.1./24
-
-
-*----
-!!2.1. What do we need
-
-Believe it or not, shaping the incoming traffic is an easy
-task and you don't have to read tons of books about routing or queuing algorithms.
-
-
-
-To make it work, we need at least Squid proxy; if we want to fine tune
-it, we will have to get familiar with ipchains or iptables and CBQ.
-
-
-
-To test our efforts, we can install IPTraf.
-
-----
-!!2.2. How does it work?
-
-Squid is probably the most advanced HTTP proxy server available for Linux.
-It can help us save bandwidth in two ways:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-*
-
-The first is a main characteristic of proxy servers -- they keep downloaded
-web pages, pictures, and other objects in memory or on a disk. So, if two people are
-requesting the same web page, it isn't downloaded from the internet,
-but from the local proxy.
-
-
-*
-*
-
-Apart from normal caching, Squid has a special feature called delay
-pools. Thanks to delay pools, it is possible to limit internet traffic in a
-reasonable way, depending on so-called 'magic words', existing in any given
-URL. For example, a magic word could be '.mp3', '.exe' or '.avi', etc.
-Any distinct part of a URL (such as .avi) can be defined as a magic word.
-
-
-*
-
-With that, we can tell the Squid to download these kinds of files at a
-specified speed (in our example, it will be about 5 kbytes/s). If our
-LAN users download files at the same time, they will be downloaded
-at about 5 kbytes/s altogether, leaving remaining bandwidth for web pages,
-e-mail, news, irc, etc.
-
-
-
-Of course, the Internet is not only used for downloading files via web
-pages (http or ftp). Later on, we will deal with limiting bandwidth for Napster,
-Realaudio, and other possibilities.
-
-----
-!!!3. Installing and Configuring Necessary Software
-
-Here, I will explain how to install the necessary software
-so that we can limit and test the bandwidth usage.
-
-----
-!!3.1. Installing Squid with the delay pools feature
-
-As I mentioned before, Squid has a feature called delay pools, which
-allows us to control download bandwidth. Unfortunately, in most distributions,
-Squid is shipped without that feature.
-
-
-
-So if you have Squid already installed, I must disappoint you -- you
-need to uninstall it and do it once again with delay pools enabled in the
-way I explain below.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-#
-
-To get maximum performance from our Squid proxy, it's best
-to create a separate partition for its cache, called /cache/. Its size should
-be about 300 megabytes, depending on our needs.
-
-
-
-If you don't know how to make a separate partition, you can create the
-/cache/ directory on
-a main partition, but Squid performance can suffer a bit.
-
-
-#
-#
-
-We add a safe 'squid' user:
-
-
-
-# useradd -d /cache/ -r -s /dev/null squid b/dev/null 2b81
-
-
-
-No one can log in as squid, including root.
-
-
-#
-#
-
-We download Squid sources from http://www.squid-cache.org
-
-
-
-When I was writing this HOWTO, the latest version was Squid 2.4 stable
-1:
-
-
-
-http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.4/squid-2.4.STABLE1-src.tar.gz
-
-
-#
-#
-
-We unpack everything to /var/tmp:
-
-
-#
-#
-
-# tar xzpf squid-2.4.STABLE1-src.tar.gz
-
-
-#
-#
-
-We compile and install Squid (everthing is in one line):
-
-
-
-# ./configure --prefix=/opt/squid --exec-prefix=/opt/squid
---enable-delay-pools --enable-cache-digests --enable-poll --disable-ident-lookups
---enable-truncate --enable-removal-policies
-
-
-
-# make all
-
-
-
-# make install
-
-
-#----
-!!3.2. Configuring Squid to use the delay pools feature
-
-
-
-
-#
-
-Configure our squid.conf file (located under /opt/squid/etc/squid.conf):
-
-
-#squid.conf
-#Every option in this file is very well documented in the original squid.conf file
-#and on http://www.visolve.com/squidman/Configuration%20Guide.html
-#
-#The ports our Squid will listen on.
-http_port 8080
-icp_port 3130
-#cgi-bins will not be cached.
-acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
-no_cache deny QUERY
-#Memory the Squid will use. Well, Squid will use far more than that.
-cache_mem 16 MB
-#250 means that Squid will use 250 megabytes of disk space.
-cache_dir ufs /cache 250 16 256
-#Places where Squid's logs will go to.
-cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log

-http_access deny all
-maximum_object_size 3000 KB
-store_avg_object_size 50 KB
-#Set these if you want your proxy to work in a transparent way.
-#Transparent proxy means you generally don't have to configure all
-#your client's browsers, but hase some drawbacks too.
-#Leaving these uncommented won't do any harm.
-httpd_accel_host virtual
-httpd_accel_port 80
-httpd_accel_with_proxy on

-fake_user_agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:.9.6+) Gecko/20011122
-#To make our connection even faster, we put two lines similar
-#to the ones below. They will point a parent proxy server our own Squid
-#will use. Don't forget to change the server to the one that will
-#be fastest for you!
-#Measure pings, traceroutes and so on.
-#Make sure that http and icp ports are correct.
-#Uncomment lines beginning with "cache_peer" if necessary.
-#This is the proxy you are going to use for all connections...
-#cache_peer w3cache.icm.edu.pl parent 8080 3130 no-digest default
-#...except for the connections to addresses and IPs beginning with "!".
-#It's a good idea not to use a higher
-#cache_peer_domain w3cache.icm.edu.pl !.pl !7thguard.net !192.168.1.1
-#This is useful when we want to use the Cache Manager.
-#Copy cachemgr.cgi to cgi-bin of your www server.
-#You can reach it then via a web browser typing
-#the address http://your-web-server/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi

-#####DELAY POOLS
-#This is the most important part for shaping incoming traffic with Squid
-#For detailed description see squid.conf file or docs at http://www.squid-cache.org
-#We don't want to limit downloads on our local network.
-acl magic_words1 url_regex -i 192.168
-#We want to limit downloads of these type of files
-#Put this all in one line
-acl magic_words2 url_regex -i ftp .exe .mp3 .vqf .tar.gz .gz .rpm .zip .rar .avi .mpeg .mpe .mpg .qt
-.ram .rm .iso .raw .wav .mov
-#We don't block .html, .gif, .jpg and similar files, because they
-#generally don't consume much bandwidth
-#We want to limit bandwidth during the day, and allow
-#full bandwidth during the night
-#Caution! with the acl below your downloads are likely to break
-#at 23:59. Read the FAQ in this bandwidth if you want to avoid it.
-acl day time 09:00-23:59
-#We have two different delay_pools
-#View Squid documentation to get familiar
-#with delay_pools and delay_class.
-delay_pools 2
-#First delay pool
-#We don't want to delay our local traffic.
-#There are three pool classes; here we will deal only with the second.
-#First delay class (1) of second type (2).
-delay_class 1 2
-#-1/-1 mean that there are no limits.
-delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 -1/-1
-#magic_words1: 192.168 we have set before
-delay_access 1 allow magic_words1
-#Second delay pool.
-#we want to delay downloading files mentioned in magic_words2.
-#Second delay class (2) of second type (2).
-delay_class 2 2
-#The numbers here are values in bytes;
-#we must remember that Squid doesn't consider start/stop bits
-#5000/150000 are values for the whole network
-#5000/120000 are values for the single IP
-#after downloaded files exceed about 150000 bytes,
-#(or even twice or three times as much)
-#they will continue to download at about 5000 bytes/s
-delay_parameters 2 5000/150000 5000/120000
-#We have set day to 09:00-23:59 before.
-delay_access 2 allow day
-delay_access 2 deny !day
-delay_access 2 allow magic_words2
-#EOF
-
-OK, when we have configured everything, we must make sure everything under /opt/squid and /cache directories belongs
-to user 'squid'.
-
-
-
-__# mkdir /var/log/squid/__
-
-
-
-__# chown squid:squid /var/log/squid/__
-
-
-
-__# chmod 770 /var/log/squid/__
-
-
-
-__# chown -R squid:squid /opt/squid/__
-
-
-
-__# chown -R squid:squid /cache/__
-
-
-
-Now everything is ready to run Squid. When we do it for the first time,
-we have to create its cache directories:
-
-
-
-__# /opt/squid/bin/squid -z__
-
-
-
-We run Squid and check if everything is working. A good tool to do that
-is IPTraf; you can find it on http://freshmeat.net. Make sure you have set the appropriate proxy in your web browsers (192.168.1.1,
-port 8080 in our example):
-
-
-
-__# /opt/squid/bin/squid__
-
-
-
-If everything is working, we add /opt/squid/bin/squid line to the end of our initializing scripts. Usually, it can
-be /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
-
-
-
-Other helpful options in Squid may be:
-
-
-
-__# /opt/squid/bin/squid -k reconfigure__ (it reconfigures
-Squid if we made any changes in its squid.conf file)
-
-
-
-__# /opt/squid/bin/squid -help__ :) self-explanatory
-
-
-
-You can also copy cachemgr.cgi to the cgi-bin directory
-of your WWW server, to make use of a useful Cache Manager.
-
-
-#----
-!!3.3. Solving remaining problems
-
-OK, we have installed Squid and configured it to use delay pools. I
-bet nobody wants to be restricted, especially our clever LAN users. They will
-likely try to avoid our limitations, just to download their favourite mp3s
-a little faster (and thus causing your headache).
-
-
-
-I assume that you use IP-masquerade on your LAN so that your users
-could use IRC, ICQ, e-mail, etc. That's OK, but we must make
-sure that our LAN users will use our delay pooled Squid to access web pages
-and use ftp.
-
-
-
-We can solve most of these problems by using ipchains (Linux
-2.2.x kernels) or iptables (Linux 2.4.x kernels).
-
-----
-!3.3.1. Linux 2.2.x kernels (ipchains)
-
-We must make sure that nobody will try to cheat and use a proxy
-server other than ours. Public proxies usually run on 3128 and 8080 ports:
-
-
-
-__/sbin/ipchains -A input -s 192.168.1.1/24 -d ! 192.168.1.1 3128
--p TCP -j REJECT__
-
-
-
-__/sbin/ipchains -A input -s 192.168.1.1/24 -d ! 192.168.1.1 8080
--p TCP -j REJECT__
-
-
-
-We must also make sure that nobody will try to cheat and connect to the
-internet directly (IP-masquerade) to download web pages:
-
-
-
-__/sbin/ipchains -A input -s 192.168.1.1/24 -d ! 192.168.1.1 80
--p TCP -j REDIRECT 8080__
-
-
-
-If everything is working, we add these lines to the end of our initializing
-scripts. Usually, it can be /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
-
-
-
-We might think to block ftp traffic (ports
-20 and 21) to force our LAN users to use Squid, but it's not a good idea
-for at least two reasons:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-*
-
-Squid is a http proxy with ftp support,
-not a real ftp proxy. It can download from ftp, it can also upload to some ftp, but it
-can't delete/change name of files on remote ftp servers.
-
-
-
-When we block ports 20 and 21, we won't be able to delete/change name
-of files on remote ftp servers.
-
-
-*
-*
-
-IE5.5 has a bug -- it doesn't use a proxy
-to retrieve the ftp directory. Instead it connects directly
-via IP-masquerade.
-
-
-
-When we block ports 20 and 21, we won't be able to browse through ftp directories, using IE5.5.
-
-
-*
-
-So, we will block excessive ftp
-downloads using other methods. We will deal with it in chapter 4.
-
-----
-!3.3.2. Linux 2.4.x kernels (iptables)
-
-We must make sure that nobody will try to cheat and use a proxy
-server other than ours. Public proxies usually run on 3128 and 8080 ports:
-
-
-
-__/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.1/24 -d ! 192.168.1.1 --dport 3128
--p TCP -j DROP__
-
-
-
-__/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.1/24 -d ! 192.168.1.1 --dport 8080
--p TCP -j DROP__
-
-
-
-We must also make sure that nobody will try to cheat and connect to the
-internet directly (IP-masquerade) to download web pages:
-
-
-
-__/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80
--j REDIRECT --to-port 8080__
-
-
-
-If everything is working, we add these lines to the end of our initializing
-scripts. Usually, it can be /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
-
-
-
-We might think to block ftp traffic (ports
-20 and 21) to force our LAN users to use Squid, but it's not a good idea
-for at least two reasons:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-*
-
-Squid is a http proxy with ftp support,
-not a real ftp proxy. It can download from ftp, it can also upload to some ftp, but it
-can't delete/change name of files on remote ftp servers.
-
-
-
-When we block ports 20 and 21, we won't be able to delete/change name
-of files on remote ftp servers.
-
-
-*
-*
-
-IE5.5 has a bug -- it doesn't use a proxy
-to retrieve the ftp directory. Instead it connects directly
-via IP-masquerade.
-
-
-
-When we block ports 20 and 21, our LAN users won't be able to browse
-through ftp directories, using IE5.5.
-
-
-*
-
-So, we will block excessive ftp
-downloads using other methods. We will deal with it in chapter 4.
-
-----
-!!!4. Dealing with Other Bandwidth-consuming Protocols Using CBQ
-
-We must remember that our LAN users can spoil our efforts from chapter
-3, if they use Napster, Kazaa or Realaudio. We must also remember that we didn't
-block ftp traffic in section 3.3.
-
-
-
-We will achieve it in a different way -- not by limiting downloading directly,
-but rather, indirectly. If our internet device is ppp0
-and LAN device is eth0, we will limit outgoing traffic
-on interface eth0, and thus, limit incoming traffic to ppp0.
-
-
-
-To do it, we will get familiar with CBQ and cbq.init
-script. You can obtain it from ftp://ftp.equinox.gu.net/pub/linux/cbq/. Download cbq.init-v0.6.2 and put it in /etc/rc.d/.
-
-
-
-You will also need iproute2 installed. It comes
-with every Linux distribution.
-
-
-
-Now look in your /etc/sysconfig/cbq/ directory.
-There, you should have an example file, which should work with cbq.init. If it isn't there, you probably don't have it compiled in your
-kernel nor it isnt't present as modules. Well, in any case, just make that
-directory, put example files provided below, and see
-if it'd work for you.
-
-----
-!!4.1. FTP
-
-In chapter 3, we didn't block ftp for two reasons -- so that we could do uploads,
-and so
-that users with buggy IE5.5 could browse through ftp
-directories. In all, our web browsers and ftp programs
-should make downloads via our Squid proxy and ftp uploads/renaming/deleting
-should be made via IP-masquerade.
-
-
-
-We create a file called cbq-10.ftp-network in the /etc/sysconfig/cbq/ directory:
-
-
-
-__# touch /etc/sysconfig/cbq/cbq-10.ftp-network__
-
-
-
-We insert the following lines into it:
-
-
-DEVICE=eth0,10Mbit,1Mbit
-RATE=15Kbit
-WEIGHT=1Kbit
-PRIO=5
-RULE=:20,192.168.1./24
-RULE=:21,192.168.1./24
-
-You will find the description of thses lines in cbq.init-v0.6.2 file.
-
-
-
-When you start /etc/rc.d/cbq.init-v0.6.2 script,
-it will read your configuration, which is placed in /etc/sysconfig/cbq/:
-
-
-
-__# /etc/rc.d/cbq.init-v0.6.2 start__
-
-
-
-If everything is working, we add /etc/rc.d/cbq.init-v0.6.2 start to the end of your initializing scripts. Usually, it can
-be /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
-
-
-
-Thanks to this command, your server will not send ftp data
-through eth0 faster than about 15kbits/s, and thus will not
-download ftp data from the internet faster than 15kbits/s.Your LAN users
-will see that it's more efficient to use Squid proxy for doing ftp downloads. They will be also able to browse ftp
-directories using their buggy IE5.5.
-
-
-
-There is also another bug in IE5.5 - when you right click on a file
-in a ftp directory then select 'Copy To Folder',
-the file is downloaded not through proxy, but directly through IP-masquerade,
-thus omitting Squid with delay pools.
-
-----
-!!4.2. Napster, Realaudio, Windows Media and other issues
-
-Here, the idea is the same as with ftp; we just
-add another port and set a different speed.
-
-
-
-We create file called cbq-50.napster-network in the /etc/sysconfig/cbq/ directory:
-
-
-
-__# touch /etc/sysconfig/cbq/cbq-50.napsterandlive__
-
-
-
-Put these lines into that file:
-
-
-DEVICE=eth0,10Mbit,1Mbit
-RATE=35Kbit

-!!!5. Frequently Asked Questions
-!!5.1. Is it possible to limit bandwidth on a per-user basis with delay pools?
-
-Yes. Look inside the original squid.conf file and
-check the Squid documentation on http://www.squid-cache.org
-
-----
-!!5.2. How do I make __wget__ work with Squid?
-
-It's simple. Create a file called .wgetrc and put it in your home directory.
-Insert the following lines in it and that's it!
-
-
-HTTP_PROXY=192.168.1.1:8080
-FTP_PROXY=192.168.1.1:8080
-
-You can make it work globally for all users, type man wget
-to learn how.
-
-----
-!!5.3. I set up my own SOCKS server listening on port 1080, and now I'm not able to connect to
-any irc server.
-
-There can be two issues here.
-
-
-
-One is when your SOCKS proxy is open relay, that means everyone can use it from any place in the world.
-It is a security issue and you should check your SOCKS proxy configuration again - generally irc servers don't
-allow open relay SOCKS servers to connect to them.
-
-
-
-If you are sure your SOCKS server isn't open relay, you may be still disallowed to connect to
-some of the irc servers - it's because mostly they just check if SOCKS server is running on port 1080 of a client
-that is connecting. In that case just reconfigure your SOCKS to work on a different port. You will also have to
-reconfigure your LAN software to use a proper SOCKS server and port.
-
-----
-!!5.4. I don't like when Kazaa or Audiogalaxy is filling up all my upload bandwidth.
-
-Indeed that can be painful, but it's simple to be solved.
-
-
-
-Create a file called for example /etc/sysconfig/cbq/cbq-15.ppp.
-
-
-
-Insert the following lines into it, and Kazaa or Audiogalaxy will upload not faster than
-about 15 kbits/s. I assume that your outgoing internet interface is ppp0.

-RULE=,:41000
-RULE=,:41001
-#And so on till :41030
-RULE=,:41030----
-!!5.5. My outgoing mail server is eating up all my bandwidth.
-
-You can limit your SMTP, Postfix, Sendmail, or whatever, in a way similar to the question above.
-Just change or add one rule:
-
-
-RULE=,:25
-
-Moreover, if you have an SMTP server, you can force your local LAN users to use it,
-even though they have set up their own SMTP servers to smtp.some.server! We'll do it in a
-transparent way we did before with Squid.
-
-----
-!!5.6. Can I limit my own FTP or WWW server in a manner similar it is shown in the question above?
-
-Generally you can, but usually these servers have got their own bandwidth limiting
-configurations, so you will probably want to look into their documentation.

-

-
-
-
-Don't forget to add a proper line to your initializing scripts.
-
-----
-!!5.7. Is it possible to limit bandwidth on a per-user basis with __cbq.init__ script?
-
-Yes. Look inside this script; there are some examples.
-
-----
-!!5.8. Whenever I start cbq.init, it says sch_cbq is missing.
-
-Probably you don't have CBQ as modules in your system. If you have compiled CBQ into your kernel, comment out the
-following lines in your cbq.init-v0.6.2 script.
-
-
-### If you have cbq, tbf and u32 compiled into kernel, comment it out
-#for module in sch_cbq sch_tbf sch_sfq sch_prio cls_u32; do
-# if ! modprobe $module; then
-# echo "**CBQ: could not load module $module"
-# exit
-# fi
-#done----
-!!5.9. CBQ sometimes doesn't work for no reason.
-
-Generally it shouldn't occur. Sometimes, you can observe mass downloads, though you
-think you have blocked all ports Napster or Audiogalaxy uses. Well, there is always one more
-port open for mass downloads. To find it, you can use IPTraf. As there can be possibly
-thousands of such ports, it can be really hard task for you.
-To make it easier, you can consider running your own SOCKS proxy - Napster, Audiogalaxy
-and many programs can use SOCKS proxies, so it's much easier to deal with just one port,
-than to do so with thousands of possibilites (standard SOCKS port is 1080, if you run your
-own SOCKS proxy server, you will be able
-to set it up differently, or run multiple instances of SOCKS proxy listening on
-different ports). Don't forget to close all ports for traffic,
-and leave open ports like 25 and 110 (SMTP and POP3), and other you think might be useful. You will
-find a link to awesome Nylon socks proxy server at the end of this HOWTO.

-----
-!!5.10. Delay pools are stupid; why can't I download something at full speed
-when the network is used only by me?
-
-Unfortunately, you can't do much about it.
-
-
-
-The only thing you can do is to use __cron__ and reconfigure
-it, for example, at 1.00 am, so that Squid won't use delay pools, then reconfigure
-it again, let's say at 7.30 am, to use delay pools.
-
-
-
-To do this, create two separate config files, called for example
-squid.conf-day and squid.conf-night, and put them into
-/opt/squid/etc/.
-
-
-
-squid.conf-day would be the exact copy of a config we created earlier
-
-
-
-squid.conf-night, on the contrary, would not have any delay pool lines, so
-all you have to do is to comment them out.
-
-
-
-Next thing you have to do is to set up /etc/crontab entries correctly.
-
-
-
-Edit /etc/crontab and put the following lines there:
-
-
-#SQUID - night and day config change
-01 9 * * * root /bin/cp -f /opt/squid/etc/squid.conf-day /opt/squid/etc/squid.conf; /opt/squid/bin/squid -k reconfigure
-59 23 * * * root /bin/cp -f /opt/squid/etc/squid.conf-night /opt/squid/etc/squid.conf; /opt/squid/bin/squid -k reconfigure----
-!!5.11. My downloads break at 23:59 with "acl day time 09:00-23:59" in squid.conf. Can I do
-something about it?
-
-You can achieve by removing that acl from your squid.conf, and "delay_access 2 allow dzien
-delay_access 2 deny !dzien" as well.
-
-
-
-Then try to do it with __cron__ as in the question above.
-
-----
-!!5.12. Squid's logs grow and grow very fast, what can I do about it?
-
-Indeed, the more users you have, the more - sometimes useful - information
-will be logged.
-
-
-
-The best way to eradicate it would be to use __logrotate__, but you'd have
-to do a little trick to make it work with Squid: proper __cron__ and
-__logrotate__ entries.
-
-
-
-/etc/crontab entries:
-
-
-#SQUID - logrotate
-01 4 * * * root /opt/squid/bin/squid -k rotate; /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf; /bin/rm -f /var/log/squid/*.log.
-
-Here we have caused __logrotate__ to start daily at 04:01 am, so remove
-any remaining __logrotate__ starting points, for example from /etc/cron.daily/.
-
-
-
-/etc/logrotate.d/syslog entries:
-
-
-#SQUID logrotate - will keep logs for 40 days
-/var/log/squid/*.log.0 {
-rotate 40
-compress
-daily
-postrotate
-/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
-endscript
-}----
-!!5.13. CBQ is stupid; why can't I download something at full speed when the
-network is used only be me?
-
-Lucky you, it's possible!
-
-
-
-There are to ways to achieve it.
-
-
-
-The first is the easy one, similar to the solution we've made with Squid. Insert a line
-similar to the one below to your CBQ config files placed in
-/etc/sysconfig/cbq/:
-
-
-TIME=00:00-07:59;110Kbit/11Kbit
-
-You can have multiple TIME parameters in your CBQ config files.
-
-
-
-Be careful though, because there is a small bug in that cbq.init-v0.6.2 script - it won't let you
-set certain times, for example 00:00-08:00! To make sure if everything is working correctly,
-start cbq.init-v0.6.2, and then within the time you set, type
-
-
-
-__/etc/rc.d/cbq.init-v0.6.2 timecheck__
-
-
-
-This is the example how the proper output should look like:
-
-
-
-[root@mangoo rc.d
]# ./cbq.init start; ./cbq.init timecheck
-**CBQ: 3:44: class 10 on eth0 changed rate (20Kbit -b 110Kbit)
-**CBQ: 3:44: class 40 on ppp0 changed rate (15Kbit -b 110Kbit)
-**CBQ: 3:44: class 50 on eth0 changed rate (35Kbit -b 110Kbit)
-
-
-
-In this example something went wrong, probably in the second config file placed in
-/etc/sysconfig/cbq/; second counting from the lowest number in its name:
-
-
-
-[[root@mangoo rc.d]# ./cbq.init start; ./cbq.init timecheck
-**CBQ: 3:54: class 10 on eth0 changed rate (20Kbit -b 110Kbit)
-./cbq.init: 08: value too great for base (error token is "08")
-
-
-
-The second way to make CBQ more intelligent is harder - it doesn't depend on time. You can read about it in the Linux
-2.4 Advanced Routing HOWTO, and play with tc command.
