The IPS-QoS software serves as a flexible firewall while providing traffic shaping capabilities. It offers a versatile solution for network administrators to control network traffic and optimize network performance.
The ips-qos software is a versatile firewall and traffic shaping tool that caters to a variety of Linux operating systems, including Ubuntu, Fedora Core, CentOS, Debian, Slackware, Mandriva, PLD, and SUSE. Additionally, it can function as a virtual router under MS Windows in a virtual VMware machine running Linux.
This software is designed to give users more control over their internet connection and can be used as a router, enhancing servers or complex PC-based routers. The ips-qos package has two main functions, the firewall, and traffic shaping tool. The firewall provides easy-to-use flexible configurations for controlling access to the internet (or selected services) from a LAN, while the traffic shaping tool measures and controls the traffic load for every computer (or class of computers and services) in a LAN.
The ips-qos package supports most types of internet connections, such as ADSL, DSL, and Frame Relay/ATM, and enables users to redirect ports to servers in LAN (DNAT). Additionally, it allows users to enable/disable IP and/or MAC addresses, block ports, and IP addresses, store information about sent/received packets, and register traffic load of every computer/class. The software also provides static or dynamic traffic shaping based on CBQ or HTB, "live" traffic tracing, and reporting load and transfer pending and past.
Users can administer ips-qos via an internet browser such as IE or Firefox, and it requires minimal system requirements, including a PC computer with a Pentium processor, 64MB RAM, and 2GB HDD or recommended PC computer with a Pentium II processor, 128MB RAM, and 4GB HDD. Ips-qos is based on typical packages included in all distributions with no need to compile special kernels or tools.
The software offers a 14-day trial period and comes with many new features in the latest release, including on-line updates, router/server classes based on IMQ, bridge mode, support for up to 590 computers/classes, an ipp2p extension, and compatibility with Debian 4.0 and Fedora Core 8. Overall, ips-qos is a cost-effective and efficient solution for administering shared internet connections for firms, offices, or homes.
