Hi, as you all know there are quite some providers out there that offer access to their newsservers based on a traffic or bandwidth specific fee. I was just wondering how such a service can be implemented? Does any of you have an idea how the concept with a username/password and a shaping based upon traffic/bandwidth works? I suppose there is some kind of backend (RDBMS, LDAP) that has the shaping parameters associated with a certain account. In how far can this be combined with an OS (preferably FreeBSD) to limit the access? Or maybe the routers connecting the servers to the internet are doing the shaping? I´m really curious how this all works :) Any hints/links/docs/ideas will be greatly appreciated.
