Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator is a ready-to-use software that allocates bandwidth on crowded networks.
This software is compatible with the 2.4.25 kernel, ebtables, and brouter (bridging router), and comes with denial of service protection. Users can also configure it to target specific applications such as Kazaa, IMAP, and POP. With its unique implementation, it is possible to limit incoming Internet traffic.
Some key features of Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator include its fully redundant built-in Bridging system, which ensures that it will always work properly, and its ability to scale to various types of connections, whether dial-up, DSL, T1, or 40mbs. It determines the actual trunk speed and dynamically adjusts the bandwidth limiting accordingly.
An important update in this release is a new utility that allows the user to see how many connections are current for an existing IP address. This aids network operators in deciding which users on their networks are candidates for a connection limit rule. With all these features, Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator is a great software for any network administrator looking to control their network's bandwidth in an easy and efficient manner.
