Syd there is _nothing_ wrong with m0n0wall. In fact, putting that on an embedded platform like Wrap or Alix is a highly recommended solution. (http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm) This is the solution I have at the primary site.
As for the question of last week ... it just so happened we moved my mother-in-law into a seniors building and she couldn't take her phone number with her. So we LNP'd it to Unlimitel and put OpenWRT & Asterisk on her existing WRT54GS. Installed QoS from the repository and added 1 requalify rule for UDP 10000-10050 (changed rtp.conf) and it works fabulously. I uploaded a huge file to my server and had 2 torrents (1 up/1 dn) going and it was flawless. - dbc. -----Original Message----- From: Syd Carter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July-02-08 6:49 PM To: TAUG Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] What traffic shaping works for you re:torrents Thanks to everyone who replied with their torrent blaster techniques. It was sheer co-incidence that the same question was asked on slashdot. I guess this is a hot topic with kids on summer break. Anyway, I cheapened out and fired up a spare server with MonoWall. I am really happy with this solution. I am running off the bootable CD and saving my configuration to a floppy disk. I was able to see it perform in a real world test and it worked flawlessly. I did run into trouble using the latest 1.3b11 beta release and reverted back to the stable 1.222 version. I couldn't get remote ata's working. I went to cbc.ca/marketwatch to find a speedtest app, that site redirected me to some speedtest site that did a great job at providing me with my upload and download limits. After that, I used the magic traffic shaper wizard and then added a couple of entries into the rules to set traffic along voip ports at high priority. You will likely still need to tweak a bit however the whole ordeal was relatively simple. If I had a spare d-link (or is it linksys) router then that would have been my second preferred choice, running tomato firmware. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
