Hello, I post this question in hope that someone can answer it. I have an 384/64 ADSL connection to the internet and sharing it for 4 computers. I would like to have some control over the downlink per host basis, e.g.: 60% of bandwidth to machine A, and 20-20-20% to machines B, C and D. I have been researching this subject, read about packet marking, qos, advanced routing, but all these things do not help me any further as its too late to mark incoming packets after they've arrived to my router... they've already flooded my downlink. I don't have the option to set up some qos on the routers on my ISPs side either, so I do not think that a qos solution exists for this issue. So, the soluton I've been thinking of was a way to manipulate the outgoing tcp packets. If I could find a way to rewrite the outgoing ACK packets so that they are delayed or have a smaller window size than the one the original, masqed machine requested, maybe the host on the internet side would send slower, e.g. I could control the incoming tcp channel by controlling the outgoing acks. Do you know any tool/way to archieve this? Has anyone researched this subject, or have a better idea to have control over the incoming bandwidth?
