Hi, Is there a way to limit the bandwidth of an ng server?
If so, does it work with UDP or only TCP?
Why not put this problem where it really belongs, and state that it's a network problem - and needs a network-based solution? i.e. why can't your "network people" implement TOS/packet shaping to limit the max bandwidth TCP port 514 can use? ...and yes, I know that *for individual cases* it's easier to try to solve this at an application layer, but it doesn't change the fact that this is a network problem. Not all network applications have bandwidth limiting features, and yet *all network applications* have the potential to swallow all bandwidth. So the real solution is at the network layer - not the application layer. Hmmm, actually - there is a hybrid solution: implement TOS on the servers IP stack. i.e. tell the server that's running syslog-ng to limit how much bandwidth it's using. Great thing is you can do that for any network protocol - not just syslog-ng. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
