Bandwidth Shaping And Traffic Management
Oct 16, 2009
I am just in the process of setting up a new rack for some lower end clients.
At present we have both a local (National) and international traffic split. We need to offer our clients a 100/100 port speed on the national route/bgp/ip range but only a set amount on the international range. The port speed/throughput for international traffic would need to be as low as 128k/128k.
I would also like to have the flexibility to impose data limits on the international link as apposed to bandwidth shaping.
I have a spare Cisco 3750G-48TS I was hoping to utilize for the main switch on this rack (SFP Ports for multiple uplinks, National/International)
Hardware/Server wise what will be the easiest way to achieve this?

I've got a LAN setup that share an internet connection with some friend but unfortunately we have a "Limit" we can download per day.
One of my friend's seems to enjoy downloading movies day in day out till we reach our cap.
Now I know ingress shaping doesn't change the fact that we are gonna reach our cap earlier but it might discourage him for downloading as much.
how can I shape his traffic to say 50KB/s both in and out for just an IP (so it doesn't affect the rest of us ?)

I just got a quote from a colocation provider but they said their standard policy was to customise traffic shaping for each customer..
The term "traffic shaping" on a server screams "bad idea" to me..
Being honest, my knowledge of shaping is limited.. but I don't want traffic shaping on my cable connection nevermind my server.

Can this switch do traffic shaping? Can this be done using Cisco Network Assistant? I dont know any CLI.

Is there a way to use traffic shaping in Linux? Like limit traffic to certain port, set priorities etc. Like ex: I'd want to set FTP to use max of 1mbps, http max of 80mbps, and set total to 90mbps.
Also is there ways to setup dos protection within linux? What I'd basically want is if it detects a dos, it either turns off the server, or does some other action that would cut it off either until I take action or for a set amount of time. Think turning off would be only solution since if I just drop packets I'd still be paying for that traffic.
Basically I want to ensure that if I get a DoS I'm not stuck paying insane bandwidth overcharges. I rather have a few days of downtime to deal with, then a few thousand dollars to pay and me having to declare bankruptcy and sell property etc...

I was checking out the switch products from Cisco and I noticed that there is quite a few products that been discounted, and I am trying to find correct switches that does traffic shaping on port for inbound and outbound.
I preferred they are 48 ports with 2 Gigabit uplinks, with Enterprise L3 image and it is little difficult to find the correct older models that is being sold on ebay to pick up the correct one.
I am also open to Extreme and Foundry switches as well, but I rather like to stick to one type for deployment, since I am working on the plan to deploy 2 core switches which all edge switches will hook into it.

Currently we are using D-link 3026 and 3028 switches (Layer 2 switch) for our bandwidth shaping and mrtg graph.
But it seems unstable, etc sometime it might congest due to unknown reason, even though the particular server is not fully utilize their bandwidth yet.
So we decide to plug in our Linksys SFE2000 (Layer 3 switch) and everything goes smooth once again. But, we never really setup the linksys switch yet.
Can anyone recommend us what kind of switches we should use, is the best choice for bandwidth shaping / QOS for the amount of less than $ 600?

I been looking for a new switch to use, that have few features that ProCurve switches do not have, which is namely the port bandwidth management that I can manage by controlling the bandwidth traffic by Megabit increment. Plus, anti-dos features would be nice as well.
I know that Extreme Networks have that features in 24/48 port 1U factors, but I am looking for feedback from others who knows of other switches that have that feature as well. Your input is appreciated.

Are there any aps or addons or anything like that for debian where u can set your monthly data quota and have it execute a command when it's reached? (like sudo shutdown -r now , this would stop all my progs from using bw as they don't auto reload)
Or some other method of keeping you from going into overage
Atm I'm trying to use up as much as possible but most of my activity occurs while I'm out of the house (wrong hours) and I"m scared to leave it running because my gigabit server could easily burn through the last 300gb in a hour or 2
atm I have vnstat installed, maybe it has some anti overage feature?
(cmds could be proc kill cmds too I suppose)

I have a site that has become very popular and I feel that I will soon outgrow my hosting plan. The site uses sub-domains in a fashion similar to About.com. In other words, I have different sites under the umbrella of the main domain. How does a site like About handle this issue? Forgive me if this is an uneducated question, but, since I can't host the sub-domains under different accounts and relieve some of the bandwidth burden how do I handle the bandwidth issue? It's not like I can have one account dedicated to one sub-domain and another to the other sub-domain or can I? Also, can anyone recommend a good hosting plan for popular sites? I have 60gb of transfer right now, but I want to explore other options while there is still time.

Does anyone have a tutorial or instructions to show how to set up munin to monitor bandwidth/traffic utilization?
I have a VPS from a provider that has no monitoring tools, and I need something to monitor.
(The VPS uses the HyperVM software.)
I am using the CentOS version 4.x right now, and munin is already set up and configured with a basic install.
Anyone know how to add traffic/bandwidth monitoring? (Ideally, it would monitor all active ports.. but I only really need it to monitor port 1194 for openVPN software.)

Should excess bandwidth charges apply for traffic that occurs between 2 nodes on a lan?
We have 2 self service dedicated servers. One of them runs our production environment and the other is used for development and backups. We have a cron job which copies backup data from the production server to the development box. A few months ago a bug in our backup script resulted a $700 excess bandwidth charge from the hosting provider.
An analysis of the network stats showed this to be $350 for outbound traffic from the production server and $350 for inbound traffic to the development box. Internet traffic for the period in question was negligible. I disputed the charge but was unable to obtain a refund. I'm trying to decide whether to switch providers as a result.
Based on the information listed above what do you think most hosting providers would have done:
1. Exactly the same. The terms of service make the customer liable for all excess bandwidth.
2. Offered a $350 refund to avoid billing twice for the same traffic.
3. Refunded the full amount because the excess traffic did not touch the public wan.

I have a Sonicwall NSA 3500. Does anyone know if you can use it to create bandwidth charts of Network Objects (e.g. IPs or Groups of IPs)?
I am thinking something like Cacti, but I don't know the code to pull that info or if it's even technically possible.

I recently got my hands on a few unmanaged VPS to play around with and learn how to work on them (eventually plan on going dedicated, so this is a preparation for that). I know the basics of working on Linux via command line, but beyond that I'm clueless. Does anyone know of any good guides for setting up and managing a LAMP environment on a VPS?
I'm mostly interested in CentOS and Debian.
I can find guides specifically for 1 or 2 things, but so far the only useful (complete) guide I've found is the one here. I'm not sure if that's still up to date on todays standards as it was written 2 years ago?
Things I'm looking for:
- Installing and setting up a LAMP environment
- Jailing SSH
- User/Group management
- Firewall setup / security hardening (I've read the thread in VPS tutorials as well as the one in Technical and Security Tutorials about securing your hosting company)
2 more questions...
1) Wondering what would be better... webmin or ispconfig? From what I understand webmin is more OS oriented and allows easy configuration of various parts of the OS while ispconfig is more hosting oriented? I take it running both at the same time is not recommended/needed?
2) Still not entirely sure what OS to choose. In my VPS atm I have the following available (along with the likes of Ubuntu, Gentoo and SuSE but I think the list bellow is what I should use). Would love if someone could list some advantages/disadvantages of each.
- centos-5-i386-afull
- centos-5-i386-hostinabox571
- debian-3.1-i386-minimal
- debian-4.0-i386-minimal
Appreciate any input.
Thanks for reading.

How do i go about setting up a DNS zone using WHM for my new dedicated server? Also, what does record type mean (as in: A, A6, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, TXT, WRK)?
If someone can point me to a good tutorial or reference so that i can get my server up and running with multiple domains, I'd appreciate it.

We run around 300 domains for our clients; in the past we've believed that it was better to outsource DNS hosting, we've used a few different local companies but now we're getting to the stage that I'd like to consolidate all the records to one company.
Does anyone have any reccomendations for ultra reliable, easy to manage? Or is it better to put a dedicated machine in and run our own service?
I've got a few domains with Zoneedit, but I want to way-up some alternatives, I don't think the zoneedit admin is particularly user friendly and it's quite expensive $1000+ a year for what we need.

i have few dedi servers from one Us company, i am currently using their DNS service, we are into small level hosting, i want to run my own DNS, is it necessary to run a separate server for DNS?
Actually how the hosting companies do the name server pointing, for an example if i am buying a server and want to host a few domains in that server, what normally we do is we will change the name server to that companies name server
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
my question is if i am pointing my domains name server to the name server
ns1.companydomain.com
ns2.companydomain.com
how that company points the domain to my server for an example its ip is 72.xx.52.xx i am bit confused in this.
Also i have a doubt how they are creating this for n number of domains?

We are working on our pci certification ( fun times right? ) and i was wondering what other people do for server management in the dmz. Few things we are looking at listed below. We will be doing cisco zbfw for firewalling and using NAT.
#1
Servers have 2 nics, 2 ips, gateway ect. One of the networks would be considered a "management vlan/network". Other network would be for all other traffic, including natting to the internet, and traffic to the "internal" zone but locking down traffic to source,destination, and protocol level.
On windows you really on have 1 true default gateway, and because windows doesnt just send traffic out the interface it came in, but looks at the routing table, some network routing issues popped up.
#2
Use only 1 nic/vlan/ip/gateway. Lock down traffic to source,destination, and protocol level for dmz to "internal" traffic and do an "inspect" statement to allow all necessary traffic back in and drop everything else. "Internal" to dmz would just be an inspect all because this traffic wouldnt need to be firewalled so management traffic would work just fine.

Does anyone know of any software applications available of which would allow staff/employees to log into SSH while actively logging all input and prohibiting certain commands from being run?
A list of applicable servers to log into would be amazing as well, although that might be reaching too far.

I have 4 ip addresses.
74.63.67.146 - my main server. I have also configured my main domain to "own" this IP address and have installed an SSL cert. The domain and the cert work correctly but when you type in the IP address in, it shows "Apache is functioning normally".
74.63.67.147 - this is owned by a client. Same thing happens as above except that the domain name and the IP address point to the Apache message.
74.63.67.148 - this is the shared IP. Everything works correctly.
74.63.67.149 - this is another owned IP and it works correctly.
The only thing that is different from 146, 147

I just want to know what is the best way to run a hosting solution remotely. I.E have OS re-installed without having someone to do this for us in the DC for example?
I've heard KVM over IP but unsure to where that would lead us.

Anyone know of any service that will provide 24/7 support for colocation servers I own?
By support I mean regular system updates, monitoring server stability, and be available 24/7 if problems were to occur.
I plan to colo with steadfast networks.
