Hi all, I have a server which reaches a very high load when there are lots of people on it. I would like to limit the amount of TOTAL outgoing connections out of the box.. not just apache (I already have mod_cband)... how can this be done? I have heard of 'tc' but there arent many guides on how to use it Any help greatly appreciated
I would suggest taking a look at QoS (quality of service) articles. The following link it related to VoIP as it is the one place I know its used extensively. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/QoS http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Linux+Router Link to a product on the QoS page: http://lartc.org/wondershaper/ My work with QoS has been limited to recompiling the kernel to get tools to work properly. I know you can use the examples above to provide an easier way.
