:Yup - this will be interesting
Throttle by user bandwidth for long periods of time may not be a good idea either.
Eg. I'm on a 3Mbps connection and I want to d/l Fedora Core DVD ISO as well as some other ISO's. A reset would just tick me off.
Why not look at the overall traffic crossing the node, and when its nearing capacity, throttle from the top usage down until its at a supportable level.
I think we are saying the same thing. Throttle at the CMTS, but NOT with resets. Just change the profile so that the SPEED of the connection is lowered.
