I've been looking at the traffic shaper plugin hoping to improve performance
of my WAN connection. I can see how to configure it to prioritize traffic
by port number, but is there a way to have it prioritize by IP address?
What I want to do is designate a particular device inside my LAN as having
the lowest priority... any traffic to or from it will be prioritized lower
than traffic to or from any other device on my network.
The situation is that I have a nice shiny new ReadyNAS RAID storage box, and
I have set it up to backup to an online backup service. There are gigabytes
of data being uploaded, and while I can throttle the transfer rate in the
backup s/w, I would like to tell it to use all available bandwidth. When I
do this other computers on my network suffer noticeably... web sites are not
as responsive. And things are particularly ugly if I try and connect into my
LAN from outside.
In the traffic shaper I can see how to manage bandwidth by port number...
but unfortunately the backup s/w is connecting to port 443 at the offsite
server, the same as any browser uses for https/ssl pages. So I can't
prioritize it low without affecting everything else that uses https/ssl port
443.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David
