Hi! I am looking for useful information on a volume control with a token bucket filter (see background) and am stuck. The does not seem to be much documentation on QoS in general and about none about tbf in particular. Has onyone ever tried tbf and can give me any hints?
Thanks! J�rn Background: My university is connected to the internet with 2MBit but the ISP, the German DFN, imposes a volume limit of 80GB/month, which is roughly 250kbit on average. If the limit is exceeded, the DFN gives us the option to buy the next catrgory with 160GB/month or to cut our wire once the limit is reached. With a tight budget, none if these is desireable. A bandwidth control on our side is possible and trivial, but bandwidth is not volume. For a volume control, the options are a BSD box with dummynet (bandwidth control) plus a script to calculate volume usage and trim the bandwidth or a linux box with tbf.
