QBox: A QoS Appliance for LAN/WAN Links Using Linux
Overview Internet access has become increasingly important in the daily operations of both individuals and businesses. As internet dependency has increased the availability of faster connections has also increased. However, newly emerging technologies such as Voice over IP and videoconferencing are placing additional demands on the already scarce resource of bandwidth. The distinction here is not so much about additional bandwidth, but about how the bandwidth is utilized. With QBox the authors used traffic classification combined with queuing disciplines to prioritize and shape the traffic. By classifying traffic into appropriate queues the authors guarantee certain levels of service for certain applications while maximizing the utilization of bandwidth.
