Not really, in as much as the traffic has already arrived before you have the opportunity to control how much of it there is. But in general it does what it says - throttles flows so that you stay within the available bandwidth and avoid building up long queues upstream. > Ultimately, what I want to do is basically what T-mobile is doing with > their "Binge On" service and that's to limit the amount of bandwidth > that Netflix streams are allowed to use and thus forcing the video > quality down to a limited amount of bandwidth. > > I wonder if anyone has cooked this one up yet. > > Assuming I had a list of IP addresses that Netflix streams could come > from, any hints or suggestions of configuration that I would want to > apply to them? I have inbound traffic shaping configured on the main routers at work - basically shape the traffic on egress, external interface for outbound and internal interface of inbound. Of course, you need to exclude traffic originating on the router from the inbound shaping - and it may not work if you don't have a convenient 2-port router setup. On the main (and older) router, it's done with TC rules etc. On the backup (and much newer one) it's done with Shorewall's internal packet marking and shaping stuff. I'll grab some config snippets later if you need them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
