Hello
I need to limit the bandwidth from a list of ip addresses. I was planning to use the dummynet with lookup tables, so i took the example given in the manual pages:
I modified the network addresses as needed but there seems to be a problem with the last line:
I tried to do it another way, but it didn't work too:
I'm using FreeBSD 6.1
Could someone tell me what i'm doing wrong or where to find some info
i have two questions actually...
i need to block certain ports with openbsd and PF in a large lan, the firewall is supposed to be a router between the internet and the first lan switch.
first of all, would this work at all in theory?
second, i tried doing this a few days ago at a huge lan but i... (2 Replies)
Hello,
I was wondering how one would go about regulating bandwidth of a server running RH Linux 8.0 and Apache. I am running a webserver, and want only one person to be able to download one file at a time. So, they can't click about 10 files and soak up lots of bandwidth. Plus, I would like to cap... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I'm looking for some way to bring up in a shell window a realtime (or something that updates at 10 second intervals or whatever) bandwidth monitor.
I just want something that shows me how much kbps is going in and how much is going out of each interface. Is there something that might... (2 Replies)
Hi Gurus,
Need to have a way to monitor Bandwidth utilization on Linux servers, running squid .
Have worked on 3rd party monitoring tools like Bandwidth d, Nagios etc.
But we are working to find out a way to monitor this through Sitescope, for which we need to find a file where the... (4 Replies)
Hi!
I've already posted this on the freebsd-questions mailing list, but I thought I could try it here too.
I'm using FreeBSD 7.0 with IPFW DUMMYNET enabled.
I've got a problem with creating a ruleset, which allows me to limit the overall bandwidth of a link and afterwards pass the packets... (0 Replies)
I am using dummynet in bridge mode. and its working fine.
Now I have built another box (freebsd 7.1) in router mode. On this box I have two NICs, one for lan and one for wan. both networks are segmented physically and logically i-e both interfaces have different ip pools and connected to... (0 Replies)

DUMMYNET(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual DUMMYNET(4)NAME
dummynet -- traffic shaper, bandwidth manager and delay emulator
DESCRIPTION
The dummynet system facility permits the control of traffic going through the various network interfaces, by applying bandwidth and queue
size limitations, implementing different scheduling and queue management policies, and emulating delays and losses.
The user interface for dummynet is implemented by the ipfw(8) utility, so please refer to the ipfw(8) manpage for a complete description of
the dummynet capabilities and how to use it.
Kernel Options
The following options in the kernel configuration file are related to dummynet operation:
IPFIREWALL enable ipfirewall (required for dummynet)
IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE enable firewall output
IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT limit firewall output
DUMMYNET enable dummynet operation
HZ set the timer granularity
Generally, the following options are required:
options IPFIREWALL
options DUMMYNET
options HZ=1000 # strongly recommended
Additionally, one may want to increase the number of mbuf clusters (used to store network packets) according to the sum of the bandwidth-
delay products and queue sizes of all configured pipes.
SEE ALSO setsockopt(2), if_bridge(4), ip(4), ipfw(8), sysctl(8)HISTORY
The dummynet facility was initially implemented as a testing tool for TCP congestion control by Luigi Rizzo <luigi@iet.unipi.it>, as
described on ACM Computer Communication Review, Jan.97 issue. Later it has been modified to work at the IP and bridging levels, integrated
with the ipfw(4) packet filter, and extended to support multiple queueing and scheduling policies.
