Hi,

It's easy with Zentyal... You can create an object called "limited_ips" and put inside this object the ip's that you want limit... After, you can create a rule inside the traffic shapping module to limit this object to an specific speed...

Thanks,

what if I want to limit based on the username and password, but I do not have a domain contoller,

example : User a get bw 1 MB
              User B get BW 512 KBPS

Maybe can be cool use the DHCP to force some machines to receive the same IP (fixed ip address) and create objects with this IP's (or group of IP's)... These objects you can use with the traffic shapping module...

Thanks,

Reserved IP's is very possible, but I think TS wants to bind bandwith to a user. So if a user log into another pc, he gets his 'own' bandwith.

Squid can do userbased bandwidth, but then you have to define user/group based delay pools.
