Hi,

I recently got a offer from a local ISP . They want me to build and maintain a low cost linux server which will manage and distribute bandwidth as per client package or scheme. Moreover it will keep details about bandwidth used by clients, online time, download and upload details etc. The ISP is using a 8mbps connection as input.
How can I accomplish this job?  Currently I am trying Squid to distribute the bandwidth. But I dont want to use a proxy server.

I need some valuable help as this is my first linux server management job.

Please help me.        


Yours sincerely

Shambo Bose.
