Hello,

I did a few quick searches and couldn't really come up with anything concrete, so I thought it might be quicker to just post a small topic.

My room mate and I share an internet connection, and it is a fairly crappy connection.  If one of us is downloading/uploading ANYTHING, it slows the connection to a crawl for the other user.  Is there any way to throttle both the upload/download traffic of a specific IP or MAC address?

For example:

192.168.0.5 gets 50k/sec up, 50k/sec down
192.168.0.6 gets 50k/sec up, 50k/sec down

Thank you very much,

pSc

Search for QoS. There are already several threads about it, and 2 packages that seem to work.

Thanks, I've installed the QoS package but am at a complete loss still on how to throttle the bandwidth per IP address..  anyone with any insight?

Take a look at http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=5538

It has a script that I hurridly put in place a couple of weeks ago to fill the same requirement. I need to finish it up, but it has been working ok for several weeks now.

Ephraim, i havent been able to make it work, i have placed it to control wan, eth1, br0 and nothing, i think the iptables marks are mising.

i tested this last one out and modified it and worked for the down link.

How ever i must say the way your script has been coded looks excelent, very easy to understand. im going to try modify it and see if i can get it to work.
