Topic: Wondershaper

[Cyrus Bharda]

Howdy yall,

Well there has been a lot of posts on wondershaper and limiting bandwidth and I am just about to jump on the band-wagon.

Since there is not a howto for wondershaper I am going to try to write one for SME 5.6 as it wont work with SME 5.5.

So is there anyone out there who is successfully using wondershaper? I could really use some basic instructions to start from!

Thanks,

Cyrus Bharda

Not sure what the differences are between wondershaper and cbq, but have you tried ftp://ftp://ftp.sme-server.nl/e-smith/contrib/eneo/RPMS/noarch/eneo-qos_cbq-0.1-05en.noarch.rpm?  It works out of the box on 5.6 and seems to do what you're looking for.

Michiel,

Yes I have tried it, but had several issues trying to get it working. First off it would not load the second config page, then it would not save the settings, and then when I tried to test to see if it did limit traffic, it did not seem to be working!

So I thought I'd try something else, but now I have a clean test server I might give it another go.

Just my 2cents...
Like Michiel said: "eneo-qos_cbq-0.1-05en" - available on the sme-server mirrors everywhere works ... with 5.6 and 6.03 ... "out of the box"... at least it does here!

It does QOS very simple&nicely ... as my package loss statistics here prove every day .-)

Just a question, how can I test that it is working?

do something you would expect to use your net resources heavily, whilst pinging your gateway from an outside source. If it's working, the ping times should remain healthy, if not, they will increase notably.

has a useful test tool in this regard. Run it on a box inside your LAN, whilst pinging your gateway from the outside. This is how I created these fun (though statistically fuzzy) stats :
