Hi, as you all know there are quite some providers out there that offer access t= o 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 combine= d with an OS (preferably FreeBSD) to limit the access? Or maybe the routers connecting the servers to the internet are doing the shaping? I=B4m really curious how this all works :) Any hints/links/docs/ideas will be greatly appreciated.
