what's the name for what I want to do?
by swapjim from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51HAX)
I want to do two things on my network and I need to know how they're called so I can start researching.
Here's what I want to do.
I've got a 100/10 (down/up) mbit line and I want to slice it into two parts: 80/9 and 20/1. Each part will go to a different switch and several machines will be behind each switch. So it will effectively become two separate networks.
There will be people doing gaming, VoIP, streaming, browsing, BitTorrent, etc, in each network and as I understand it gaming and VoIP need prioritization so as not to lag, so I need that too.
Additionally, it would be really nice if I could add a WiFi SSID to the first network and abide by the limits of the first network.
So, how are these two things called?
As a bonus, if you feel like it, you can give me some iptables rules I can start playing with.
