Never actually needed qos, but I can throw you some ideas. All traffic has to pass through whatever device is going to prioritize the packets. This can be either a network switch with qos, or a router with qos.
Efw doesn't include it, so I wouldn't suggest installing something unless you know how and have the time. You can run efw along with another router like m0n0wall, (or any of the many distros out there) and run them both at the same time on your xenserver. You'd set the m0n0wall's lan port as the lan's gateway for your users. Then connect the m0n0wall's wan port to your efw's lan port, and then connect the ewf's wan port to your broadband. It would require setting up things, like forwarding ports inward from the efw to the m0n0wall, then forward the ports in the m0n0wall to the final IP address. broadband modem->efw->m0n0wall->lan If it's a really busy connection, you might need a dual-core or more host. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3897 (20090228) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Efw-user mailing list Efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/efw-user
