Unfortunately, I don't run the upstream router. And I just got shut down by central IT...Apparently I was overloading their traffic shaper and impeding performance campus-wide. So I need to come up with a rate limiting method that runs on my mirror server. I know linux has QoS and other traffic shaping systems, I just haven't found a very clear guide to using them, and I was hoping for someone using traffic shaping on linux with mirror servers to supply some suggested settings. --Jim On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 9:13 AM, Nick Olsen <Nick at 141networks.com> wrote: > I would limit it on the upstream router.

When the mirror was in full swing I was saturating my Gigabit switches. It's now been throttled to 20MBps during peak hours if you aren't on CA*Net or Canarie and if you are 50MBps during peak hours. >>>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> CentOS-mirror mailing list >>> CentOS-mirror at centos.org >>> http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror >>> >> _______________________________________________ >> CentOS-mirror mailing list >> CentOS-mirror at centos.org >> http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-mirror mailing list > CentOS-mirror at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror >
