Gargoyle Forum

Hi Eric!

Ok so my BIG question today is : is there a way to implement gargoyle quota (with a script or something) that could, instead of shutting down WAN when quota is reached, only limit the bandwidth to a set value through qos by example?

The situation I am dealing with is a maximum bandwidth being 120GB and me always going over up to 200GB on ADSL2+.... not very good when you get charged every month 30$ extra.... (ok 30$ extra is not bad for 80Gb EXTRA but still....)

What I've done last month is very simple.... when I reach quota (which is set to 110Gb, I set QoS max speed to the bandwidth left per day divided by 24.... and than divided by 3600 which is approximately what' left on my bandwidth per seconds.... (Qos=(120-%quota/24)/3600)but a script that would do that automatically would be even better!!!

the only thing is... I don't know how to write it and implement it to gargoyle....

any advice?

Thanks

You can't do this now (unless you REALLY want to get your hands dirty with iptables rules), but this is a feature I intend to implement sometime in the next couple of months. It has fairly high priority.

i want that tooo.. that quota total will be used according to remaining time..

user bandwidth speed = quota usage left /time remained in reset quota
a very fair usage policy
but hot apply it.or any available script or plugin or package or patch..
any help thanx in advance
