Re: Which web services (like kazza) should I block
I agree with Caleb - we see port 80 P2P at work - LOTS, because we deliberately (wrongly) try to block some of the "known copyright violation" software - hey don't blame me for the label.... I'm not management  .
I think Rate limiting with WRED is effective and does a pretty damn fine job of control while allowing for short bursts. Give them 15 seconds and then scale them back.Put priority queues on VOIP (if you're doing that) HTTP/HTTPS, ICMP, DNS, and anything else that's known to be 'interactive', but keep even those queues shallow so that can't be stolen by huge P2P and let the B/W hogs get the REALLY shallow buckets with the steepest discard rates. Or you can setup PFQ and evenly share whatever's available at the time within the pipe.
A shaper's good, but if all you have is a router at the POP then Weighted Random Early Discard is not so bad. |
