[pptp-server] Quality of Service-Linux

[George Vieira]

Usually network admins have to use hardware such as a CISCO router with
bandwidth control.

You have two options that I know of if you want a software solution:

1. Use the bandwidth shaper that comes with linux to limit bandwidth.
1a. side effects to this: this effects the bandwidth of the whole device eg.
ETH0 limited to 64Kb/s and not on the protocol. Don't think it works with
non physical devices...eg PPP0

2. Use ET/BWMGR software bw manager (http://www.etinc.com/bwmgrfaq.htm)
2a. side effects to this: Get ready to pay for it. Works on a small selected
amount of NICs.



thanks,
George Vieira

Has anyone had any luck implementing quality of service on the poptop
service.  I would like to limit the available bandwith for the entire poptop
service rather than on a per user basis(Although per user is ok if
necessary).  The research I have done tends toward this not yet being
possible in linux, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any experience
before I gave up on it entirely.

Thanks,

Michael J. Walter
