From: Andrew Crawford on 8 Nov 2009 14:21 Hello All, Due to my isp traffic shaping depending on how much i download, i started to think would it be possible to monitor how much traffic there is going through my Linux box? If so how would i detect it? Then how would i set up a script to basically to monitor and adjust my available speed depending on a the variable that my isp sets on how much i can upload or download during peak hours?
From: Andrew Crawford on 8 Nov 2009 14:22 I should have said the reason for the variable amount of data is my isp changes the amount all the time and has different amount depending on the time of day and whether it a weekend or weekday and for upload and download "Andrew Crawford" <andrewcrawford(a)blueyonder.co.uk> wrote in message news:NSEJm.3109$Ym4.3024(a)text.news.virginmedia.com... > Hello All, > > Due to my isp traffic shaping depending on how much i download, i started > to think would it be possible to monitor how much traffic there is going > through my Linux box? > > If so how would i detect it? > > Then how would i set up a script to basically to monitor and adjust my > available speed depending on a the variable that my isp sets on how much i > can upload or download during peak hours? >

I would change my ISP. Unfortunately more and more ISP are using traffic shaping to compensate for basic lack of bandwidth and are using it as a marketing tool to charge more money and generate higher profits. >> If so how would i detect it? >> >> Then how would i set up a script to basically to monitor and adjust >> my available speed depending on a the variable that my isp sets on >> how much i can upload or download during peak hours? >> -- Best Regards: Baron.

By implementing traffic shaping on your own system, of course. Google for "linux" AND "Traffic shaping". -- John Hasler jhasler(a)newsguy.com Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA

Unfortnally not a choice, if i switch i go from a cable company with guarantee 20MBit speeds apart from overload UBR's to ADSL 2+ with maximum speed off 3MBit due to my distance form the local exchange and my local exchange isn't due to be upgraded to ftth/fttc vdsl for about 3 years "Baron" <baron.nospam(a)linuxmaniac.nospam.net> wrote in message news:hd77p1$vh6$2(a)news.eternal-september.org... > Andrew Crawford wrote: > >> I should have said the reason for the variable amount of data is my >> isp changes the amount all the time and has different amount depending >> on the time of day and whether it a weekend or weekday and for upload >> and download "Andrew Crawford" <andrewcrawford(a)blueyonder.co.uk> wrote >> in message news:NSEJm.3109$Ym4.3024(a)text.news.virginmedia.com... >>> Hello All, >>> >>> Due to my isp traffic shaping depending on how much i download, i >>> started to think would it be possible to monitor how much traffic >>> there is going through my Linux box? > > I would change my ISP.
