Hi there,

I am looking a (debian) package to control bandwidth for my network
So far, the best candidate from googling is IPCop, which I havent try it yet.

I want to be able to control the bandwidth for each host (mix win, lin, mac)
The idea of IPCop is to have 2 or 3 (with DMZs) NIC and make the IPCop as gateway to control the traffic via web and to produce report as well

Hopefully debian has a similar package

Thanks for any advice in advance
Phill

I do bandwidth shaping using tc directly. You might want to read the Linux
Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HOWTO. I also use and recommend
using iptables directly for your firewall and ip for any special routing
needs.

I've also fiddled with existing Shorewall installations, and it seems quite
usable, although I still prefer the more direct, low-level interfaces.

tc and ip are part of the iproute package.
iptables is its own package.
