Bittorrent and L7 filter (-)


    July 16th, 2008 | Tags: , , , | Posted in Tech

    After searching for the Internet for means/ways of throttling bittorrent traffic using opensource methods, I found out about l7-filter and tc to control the amount of bandwidth for identified protocols. Downloaded the files and patched the kernel of my ubuntu server to enable netfilter support.

    The compiling took quite a long time on the server. Packaging as deb file also took an awefully long time. The good thing is that the kernel installation went fine without any kernel panic on boot up. Tested the l7filter and then I realized.

    bittorrent.pat doesn’t recognize all bittorrent traffic as majority are encrypted

    Oh gosh. I can’t even mark the traffic correctly! Then why not I prioritize those protocols that are time sensitive (e.g. SIP). Edited  the configuration to prioritize skypeout and skypetoskype protocols. The marking of traffic went fine, except there’s one problem.

    it doesn’t differentiate skype messaging and skype call

    Another slap to forehead. Time to try out ipp2p.

    SSH access on ReadyNAS Duo (-)


    July 9th, 2008 | Tags: , , , | Posted in Tech

    Wow. I can’t believe how easy it is to turn on the ssh server feature on the ReadyNAS Duo. I thought I had  to use some backdoor scripts in order to do so. Thanks to the “plug-in” architecture of the ReadyNas Duo, new features/technologies can be added to the device with just a few clicks.

    The ReadyNas community has got some addons which you can enable SSH and root access to the SSH. Check out ToggleSSH and EnableRootSSH from the addons page. Installing these addons are simple, just go to your ReadyNAS’s administration page. Go to System -> Update -> Local. Upload the bin file and follow the on screen instructions.
