[Voyage-linux] Re: Bandwidth Arbitrator 9.62 over Voyage Linux on Alix2d2

[daviddem]

Also, quote from the BA main howto:

/The bandwidth arbitrator has kernel portion and user space portion. At its
core are some modifications to the kernel which have two basic parts


1) A table of active internet connections (see brctl getbrain command below
for a description of the fields in this table)

I refer to this table as the “brain table” because all the decisions the
arbitrator makes are a result of analysis on the content of this table. The
table is kept in the kernel for efficiency. The table size can be
manipulated with the “brctl setbrain” command.

2) Also in the kernel are a set of queues that can be used to slow packets
down. When a penalty is in effect, all packets going to and from a specific
source and destination of IP address are put into a queue and delayed from
10-1000 milliseconds/
