Bandwidth Equal Access

[green6]

Anyone have any good ideas on how to guarantee equal access on a WAN link to the Internet supporting multiple users?

The scenario is a router with a T1 Internet link serving up to 100 users. How would I set up the link to give two users 50% of the bandwidth each, four users 25% each, 10 users 10% each, etc.

I'm trying to share the bandwidth fairly and to stop users who have download accelerators from monopolizing the link.

I'm thinking a policy map of some sort but not quite sure of alternative options.

Thanks,

Take a look at this thread, see if my config here helps:

lerdalt,

Thank you, that is close to what I'm attempting to achieve.

I don't necessarily want to police all traffic at an upper limit though.

I would like to have the allocated bandwidth per user change as users come and go. But, based on the IP address so that users with download accelerators won't be able to take more than their fair share.

I'll have to look more into the class map options that you point out in your thread.

Greatly appreciated.

it it's a t1 then you are using fair-queue as the queuing mechanism. if you understand the logic then you know that the most aggressive flows will be "punished" more than the least aggressive flows. The idea is to share the bandwidth equally amongst all flows. Are you seeing some users monopolize the link right now??

I hate all Uppercase... I don't want my groups to seem angry at me all the time! =)
