Title: How to limit the max bandwidth of an IP/MAC address in green?
Post by: Defoe on Saturday 13 March 2010, 02:13:36 am
I have a home network with 15 users, 2 of them uses bittorrent, while 4 of them play  games.
I blocked many outgoing firewall ports so that I can surf web and work.
But the network is extremely unstable again now, I found that they download everything through http.

Is there a way I can configurate my Endian community firewall to limit the bandwidth of these 2 heavy users?
I am looking at possibility of setting bandwidth limit to their IP/MAC address.

It should be possible to limit the bandwidth given to an IP address but it doesn't seem to work for me.

I've set up the availiable bandwidth in QOS Devices, added a new QOS Class with a Limit of 15(kbit/s), created a QOS Rule for an internal IP address to use the 15kbit Class but it doesn't work for me.
I can still download HTTP files at over 1000kbit/s from the internet.

Has anybody been able to get this working?

QoS doesn't work for me either.
I tested some months ago the QoS and the traffic doesn't go trought the expected QoS queues.  :-\
