[LARTC] Traffic Shaping

[Rangi Biddle]

Dear List,

 

I am wanting to perform some traffic shaping as the subject of this email
suggests.

 

What I am wanting to do is this;  I would like to have traffic shaping
performed on the following protocols:  HTTP, RDP, GRE, PPTP, SIP and IAX.
Obviously I would like to have highest priority set for voice packets so
much so that the general http traffic does not impede on the voice packets.
I would like to have ample bandwidth available for RDP so that I am able to
connect to a remote site and not have too much lag but ample enough that
most tasks can be done.  HTTP traffic would possibly have the lowest
priority of all the protocols that I have listed.  So to clarify priority
would be something such as this:

 

1.       IAX

2.       SIP

3.       GRE

4.       PPTP

5.       RDP

6.       HTTP

 

I have a linux gateway that I will use for performing the traffic shaping
and is setup in the following way:

 

                 -------------                         ------------
---------

                |    ADSL     | <----------> |   LINUX  |  <----------> |
LAN   |

                 -------------                         ------------
---------

 

I plan to have the ADSL router forward all traffic to the linux gateway
using something similar to a BIMAP rule where all incoming and outgoing
traffic is made to appear to come from the public IP address.  I welcome any
and all suggestions but would possibly prefer the most elegant of solutions
J

 

Many thanks in advance
