QoS - how to configure!?

[s00pa]

hi, I'm wanting to implement QoS to limit bandwidth in both directions...
how do I configure this.. is it possible just to limit network traffic
fullstop, coz I have internet access thru a linux server, thus it's probably
easier just to limit my access to the linux server, if you know what I
mean.. the QoS packet scheduler help document says:
a.. Install Packet Scheduler on any end-systems on which you want to enable
traffic shaping, traffic marking, or ISSLOW on a dial-up connection.

Is this what I'm after.. and how do I access it once it has been installed
on a network connection.. I can't find it anywhere.. or is it only for
dial-up!?

Thanks

Hi

You get to QoS by using gpedit. Follow these instructions to set the
bandwidth:

1.make sure your logged on as actually "Administrator". do not log on
with any account that just has administrator priviliges.
2. start - run - type gpedit.msc
3. expand the "local computer policy" branch
4. expand the "administrative templates" branch
5. expand the "network branch"
6. Hilight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window
7. in right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting
8. on setting tab check the "enabled" item
9. where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read whatever you
need/want.

This is only useful if your NICs use 802.1p

I'm afraid I don't use QoS so I can't tell you much about it. If you
have access to a WIN2K AS machine there is more information on this in
the windows help files. You could also get the AS help from the
Microsoft web site.

thanks for that.. I'm really confused as to why this stuff isn't documented
in the help files

Hi

You're confused by MS? Welcome to the club <G>

I guess this feature is aimed more at business with real-time
applications than the small (home?) LAN. I would hope that there is more
support if that's where it's aimed because even the AS help files don't
enlighten you much.

Just out of interest I've done a search on the MS Knowledgebase and it
throws up plenty of info. There's even a webcast and powerpoint tutorial
overview and set-up of QoS - that might be of help to you.

Is their any way to determine if your NIC's use 802.1??
