Misc,
How many queues have people run on a small 10mbit net connection with
PF/ALTQ? (machine is a P4 3ghz)
I ask because queues based on ports (22, 80, etc) seem to have no
longer sufficed for our office where someone still manages to hog all
the HTTP bandwidth making web surfing miserable. Rather than enforce
policy with a bat, I'd like to just run ALTQ based on src_addr since
we only have about thirty IPs in use in our office and they are
statically assigned by mac_addr. If there were an automated way to
create queues based on src_addr dynamically, that'd be cool too but I
didn't see anything mentioned in the PF FAQ
Question is, have people done this? Is there a better method that
might limit people "per flow" ? It's nice that ssh still works in
the current setup but doesn't help when www.openbsd.org loads dog
slow because someone has decided to download the latest "funny video"
off the internet.
Thanks,
David
