Bandwidth limiting of traffic from WWW server -> Internet

evert · Mon Oct 18, 2004 12:26 am

Hi everyone!

How do I limit the bandwidth usage of a WWW-server in my local net towards the Internet?

to clearify my own post here: I only want to throttle the amount of bandwidth used by outgoing traffic, so FROM my Apache server TO the clients on the Internet...

Anyone any suggestions? Which ports do I tag?
(the server is in a NAT-environment)

Hi Evert,

I think the example in the docs is showing your situation quite good - queuing for a server in a NATed (masqueraded) environment:
http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.8/ro ... t#6.54.7.2
The one adjustment you would have to make is the packet marking for the server - in the example, all traffic from the server is mangled. You want to mark only TCP traffic FROM port 80 (and port 443, if using SSL/HTTPS).

Hope that helps...

Will traffic coming FROM my webserver be originating from port 80? Are you sure on that...?

Yes, I'm sure. At least if you didn't change your Apache config and configured a different port. The standard port for HTTP servers is TCP port 80 (or 443 for SSL/HTTPS).

Oops... /me hits himself over the head...

Of course you're right!

Somehow I'd gotten the notion in my head that clients contact apache on port 80, and that apache would send back on another, random port. Got no idea where I got that from...

Thanks for correcting me!

I think you are right about this one.

Right about my notion, or right about hitting myself over the head?

(I have used Torch to double-check, and it does come from port 80...)

Hi Again,
apache on port 80, client on whatever.
