[asterisk-users] Bandwidth management and ADSL router

Tue May 26 12:26:48 CDT 2009

A lot of ISP adsl modems aren't capable. But most should be. Just log in to it give it a private IP for your lan(192.X.X.X or whatever your using) then have all your computers use that local IP as their gateway address.

If you have an ADSL modem which doesn't then simple get a router (hell a Linksys/Dlink $50 cheapy from wallmart would work) and have the ADSL plug into the router and all the stations use the router for their gateway.

If you have a spare server or virtual server space you can use Vyatta (Vyatta.com) it is a free open source router/firewall/vpn/few other things. I've never used it in a virtual environment, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work that way. Also note that it requires almost nothing to run so you can put it on an old < 1Ghz machine and It would still operate just fine.

Thanks for all.

But what all gave me was a software need to be installed on PC, but I am looking for a router (ADSL router) that can does this, because usually the ADSL router is the default gateway where all the traffic goes out and in. 

Any ADSL router device can do this?

About Draytek, as I understand that control can be done only at upload traffic and not download traffic, while 90% of the problem are coming from download traffic, so this is not the needed.

Any advise in that direction?

Regards
Bilal
