[Cake] cake separate qos for lan

[Allan Pinto]

Hi Sebastian,
I should have made this more clear please see below topology with added
comments. the customers connecting to the linux router can be in range from
100 to 2000, so shaping on the switch is not really a option. I am right
now testing on a i3 machine, but for actual live testing am planning to
test with i7 or a xeon.

                  Cache-Server [ connected to internet gateway , traffic
can be sent to it via wccp or policy based routing ]
                           |
  internet---->internet Gateway —> L2 switch [ MEN network on fiber ]   -->
LInux router with cake[ includes a pppoe server which authenticates with
radius ] - - [ pppoe connection over a fiber men network ]  --> customer [
customers can be 100 to 2000 ]

basically the customer will create a broadband connection on his pc to
connect.

fiber 1g/10g/last hop cat5e

> As I just wrote, can’t we completely avoid the IMQ/IFB here and use dual
egress shaping instead (once on the pppoe device and once on the interface
connected to the switch, which effectively should shape both directions)?

i may be wrong here, but i think jonathan is advising the use of IMQ/IFB to
provide two different shaping scenarios on egress itself. not ingress. as i
need cache traffic to have higher bandwidth on the egress towards customer
but non- cache traffic [ pure internet ] to remain within the bandwidth
limits purchased by the customer.
