bandwidth restriction through Linux

[laith.said]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement an Automatic Controlled Bandwidth Restriction, so that DS207 (or similars) auto detect the load on my WAN interface and adjust the bandwidth.

I'm stack with the Linux commands to set the bandwidth restriction, any one can help here ...

Hi laith,

What you are requesting is normally a router/gateway function, i.e. "QOS" and/or "Port/IP Prioritisation". However unless you have a high end router (or a hacked one running something like Tomato/DD-WRT) these functions are normally only on expensive routers. I do not know how to do it on the Syno box but would be interested if anyone knows as my WAN syncronisation of syno to syno can eat all my upload bandwidth very quickly resulting in my normal internet use crawling along.

There is an optware package called trickle that can do part of what you want in userspace if your NAS box is along the traffic path.

Of course, controlling traffic on your router is a better idea. If your router supports trickle package (openwrt, dd-wrt, oleg, etc.), you can also try it there.
