Personally I'm using the tc route to cap all off campus transfers to 150Mb/s -------script I use------- #!/bin/bash tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 10 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:90 htb rate 150000Kbit tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:90 handle 90: sfq perturb 10 #First mark EVERYONE iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -j MARK --set-mark 9 #now unmark who we "love" iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -d 129.21.0.0/16 -j MARK --set-mark 0 tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1:0 handle 9 fw flowid 1:90 ---------/script------- I used to have a "! 129.21/16" rule but it was too hard to add exceptions to. That is why I now mark everyone and then uncap others. There was a really great howto I think on the gentoo wiki. -paul On Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 7:08 PM, Lauro, John <jlauro at umflint.edu> wrote: > > > > > Dropping the DVDs would probably be more noticeable than the patches. > > > > > > > > > From: centos-mirror-bounces at centos.org > [mailto:centos-mirror-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of greg at raystedman.org > Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 6:13 PM > To: centos-mirror at centos.org > Subject: [CentOS-mirror] RayStedman.org Bandwidth > > > > > > Good Afternoon, > > > > We have excess bandwidth that we have been donating to the CentOS.org mirror > for several months now.
