Vyatta To Control Bandwidth

The Vyatta router uses traffic shaping policies to control bandwidth usage on its two interfaces, applying an upload limit of 1Mbps and a download limit of 2Mbps. Advanced configuration examples are also provided to apply different policies to wireless and Ethernet interfaces, reserving 60% of bandwidth for priority services and limiting other traffic to 20%.

VYATTA TO CONTROL BANDWIDTH

---------------------------------monitor interfaces ethernet eth0 flow

Vyatta router has two interfaces: eth0 LAN, and eth1 WAN interface
set bandwidth for upload traffic at 1Mbits/sec and download traffic at 2Mbits/se
c
$ configure
[you are entering Vyatta's CLI]
$ set traffic-policy shaper UPLOAD-POLICY
$ set traffic?policy shaper UPLOAD-POLICY bandwidth 1Mbit
$ set traffic?policy shaper UPLOAD-POLICY default bandwidth 50%
$ set traffic?policy shaper UPLOAD-POLICY default ceiling 100%
$ set traffic?policy shaper UPLOAD-POLICY default burst 15k
$ set traffic?policy shaper UPLOAD-POLICY default queue-type fair-queue
$ set interfaces ethernet eth1 traffic?policy out UPLOAD-POLICY
$ set traffic-policy shaper DOWNLOAD-POLICY
$ set traffic?policy shaper DOWNLOAD-POLICY bandwidth 2Mbit
$ set traffic?policy shaper DOWNLOAD-POLICY default bandwidth 50%
$ set traffic?policy shaper DOWNLOAD-POLICY default ceiling 100%
$ set traffic?policy shaper DOWNLOAD-POLICY default burst 15k
$ set traffic?policy shaper DOWNLOAD-POLICY default queue-type fair-queue
$ set interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic?policy out DOWNLOAD-POLICY
$ commit
$ save
$ exit
Later if you want to change your bandwidth rate limit on Vyatta, you can simply
do:
$ configure
$ set traffic-policy shaper DOWNLOAD-POLICY bandwidth 8Mbit
$ set traffic-policy shaper UPLOAD-POLICY bandwidth 4Mbit
$ commit
$ save
$ exit
