Project Description

Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator allows beginning-to-advanced network administrators to control bandwidth. It is designed to be completely turn-key in its default configuration. You just plug it into your network trunk, and it self configures and immediately starts slowing "bandwidth hogs". It can be configured to target specific applications such as Kazaa, IMAP, and POP. It is compatible with the 2.4.25 kernel, ebtables, and brouter (bridging router). It also comes with denial of service protection.

5.4

A special appendix was added to the user guide, which explains how the bandwidth arbitrator performs congestion control. This new section gives detailed scenarios on how the bandwidth arbitrator intelligence differs from traditional flow control. It also goes into some of the business aspects and trade-offs of using turn key congestion control, and the ability to create an illusion of having more bandwidth on your network without actually purchasing more.

9.0

This release introduces a commercial quality bandwidth metering utility that can be activated from the GUI. It monitors accumulated bandwidth by hour, day, or month for users you select. It allows you to automatically take action when a user exceeds bandwidth; you can restrict, send email, etc. Also in this release is the hard limit feature (non-burstable bandwidth limits). This new limit capability augments the burstable limit, and you can have up to 4000 without impacting the CPU.

This release offers QOS for IP trunking on the flash-based appliance. This is a service designed to provide QOS for IP PBX systems that are connected via a dedicated trunk and share this link with IP voice and IP data traffic. Deploying the QOS appliance on an IP trunk will allow you to keep your voice traffic clear without implementing complex TOS schemes on your routers. The flash-based QOS is turn key and does not require certifications to deploy.

1000d

The pre-built flash systems now incorporate a
professional front-end for the user limit utility.
This utility allows admins to set daily, weekly,
or monthly bandwidth caps on individual users. If
a user exceeds their total byte count for the
period, the adminstrator will be notified and has
the option to automatically cut off the user or
scale back their data rate. This flexible utility
allows ISPs to resell metered bandwidth
allotments.
