From what i read here and from what others have suggested i can only
surmise that you tried almost everything besides the simplest thing .
out of the box CentOs installs proftpd (AFAIK ) , this ftp engine has a
simple too called mod_shaper
which allows as you can assume shape traffic rates .
example of the configuration is :
<IfModule mod_shaper.c>
ShaperEngine on
ShaperLog /var/log/ftpd/shaper.log
ShaperTable /var/log/ftpd/shaper.tab
# Enableing FXP
AllowForeignAddress on
# An overall rate (in KB/s) must be set. This line explicitly
# sets both the download and upload rates to be the same.
*** ShaperAll downrate 100 uprate 100
This is the line to manipulate
# Allow all system users to see shaper info
#ShaperControlsACLs info allow user *
# Allow FTP admins to alter settings both overall and per-session
ShaperControlsACLs all,sess allow group ftpadm
</IfModule>
you'll need to see if the module was installed in the initial
installation , and if not - download it and compile it .

setting up routers. Maybe someone on the list can give me some better
insight.
I have monitoring turned on my "shift eight (tm)" (Asterisk ;-)) box
for all calls. We have over one hundred agents and tons of recordings
in wav format. I also have a cron job that runs a script to mux the
in and out files and ftp them to a NAS device and it runs every five
minutes.
The NAS device and the * box are both directly connected to a Cisco
Gigabit switch. I have had complaints of calls fading in and out and
also cutting off. After reviewing the recordings, some of these
complaints seem valid and I suspect the sheer bandwidth of the FTP
traffic is causing the issues. I also run nagios checks on the box
and get ping warnings on a regular basis.
My question is, how can I throttle the FTP (Standard with dist)
transfers using out of the box CentOS4.3 (or any easy to use, low
learning curve package)? I thought about FTPing the files at less
frequent intervals but that just makes the issue less frequent but
last longer.
I would like to accomplish throttling FTP on the Linux box with a
solution that is not too elegant since this is a production machine in
a busy call center. If I cannot do it on the * box I guess my next
step is to see if the Cisco Gigabit switch has any QoS functionality.
Thanks,
Steve
