I am using RH 6.2 and ipchains with IP MASQ to provide internet
access to several PC's on my home network.

However when one or more people are downloading a file, access for
everyone else becomes very slow.

Is there a way of limiting bandwidth (or priority or similar) for
individual PC's on the network to allow everyone a fair go?

Regards,
Graham Daniell

Hi

Well if your PC is fast enough to run a proxy
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO/

Its nice and simple to follow through...

I tried bandwidth limiting once -- it began to get annoying when u could 
only download at 10Kb/s when you are the only person using the DSL 
connection. But that is my oppinion, Dial up might be different...

cheers

If you want to limit bandwidth with a squid proxy server, you can use the
delay pools feature of squid. Delay pools allows you to limit for example
the bandwidth usage after it has downloaded e.g the first 64kbytes of a file
or whatever value you set. However it is only useful for requests using the
squid proxy server.

the linux 2.4 kernels (not RH6.2) have loadbancing features, the new
iproute2 tools have ways of dividing the available bandwith in classes. This
is described in the advanced routing howto's

goodluck.
