Hi all.

Hi Rafal,

I have a router with 5 network interfaces and sometimes there is so much traffic on one of them that the server load is very high. What are the options to limit the traffic per IP address on every interface? Which need least system (CPU, memory) resources?

maybe using tc would be of help for you; there are a bunch of nice how to's on the net, e.g.:

Thanks.

Best regards, Rafal.

HTH,

Timo
