Hi, NT People.
A question for the NT expert.
I have a wireless lan and I?m using actually Linux to conect this lan with internet. I?mean, I using Linux as a proxy.-
Actually, I want to return to NT.-
But I need a way to control the bandwidth useof my clients.
I read about Microsoft ISA Server. But I believe that the ISA bandwidth control is only over protocols, not IPs.
I need a bandwidth control that allow me to give to each user (each internal IP) a different bandwidth for each different protocol.
Any Idea ??

Thanks in advance.
Excuse my bad english.

Hi,
With ISA server you can control which application can access the internet , so if for example you dont access to p2p programs they can never use it to suck the bandwidth.
Second w2k has a feature called qos packet scheduler, which you "supposed" to be able to control the bandwidth (I never had tested it).
If you want to do it with Linux, I can put you in contact with someone who did it with Linux, drop me a email if you want to do so.

On ISA you can create something called "Client Address Set" (Refere to the Clients IPs) and you can use this set to control the bandwidth
