QoS: Static Bandwith for a Host

Hi Folks,

i tried to use the search thing but i did not get the answer: Is it possible to set a static bandwith to one host like 100kbits upload and 300kbits download ?

I need id badly because some foolish member of my house is leeching allday long... i tried to talk to him but he does not listen and closing the ports is no solution because he wont accept it.. so anyone can help me out =

thx & greez

what version of Astaro? I have not been able to get v5's QOS to work at all. V4 works great though.

It's not possible to define static values for QoS. You have to use the "Allow Low", "Allow", "Allow High" in the packetfilter.
But it is possible to define a bandwidth for every of these three queue. To do so, goto Webadmin -> Network -> Interfaces -> Edit the interface. In the field for outgoing bandwidth type in:

Syntax:
completebandwidht:high:mid:low

so for instance type in:
2048:2000:1750:200

By doing so, you can limit each queue to a hard limit. The example hard limits the queue "Allow Low" to 200kbits.
What will happen?
All packets which match a packetfilter rule which is set to "Allow Low" will share these 200kbits. If you set only the one nasty user to "Allow Low", the user will have not more than 200Kbits.

I'm trying to setup custom bandwidth as noted above on v5.2 and am getting the following error:

When QoS is enabled, both uplink and download bandwidth options and the MTU size must be filled in

All three are filled in. It seems the only thing that is accepted is a single integer and none of the colon delimited custom settings.

Is this something new with v.5.2?

It's working for me on 5.200; I just changed the #'s a few days ago.

Make sure you have all 4 paramaters:
total bw:high:med:low

What is strange is that in v45 is works exactly as it should. It should not allow any one thing to hog the outbound bandwidth..but that is exactly what ASL5 allows. REfer to this thread for details of my trevails:

I am still hoping for a response. if i am doing something wrong i can accpet that..but i ahve not changed anything except Astaro versions. V4 works perfectly..V5 doesn't.

Different Day, Same problem.

I put the following in as "Downlink Bandwidth"
1000:800:300:128

Error received:
When QoS is enabled, both uplink and download bandwidth options and the MTU size must be filled in

All other fields are simple integers.
Something needs to be tweaked... and I'm beginning to think it's not my meds.

Cheers

William,

My appologies.
I did have the numbers backwards.
Thanks for the heads up...

Now... what about that error?
