Hi list :) I'm currently respinning Debian as a CDD, called Bandwidth Manager http://www.sf.net/projects/bw-manager It's aim is to have a base set of components and features used for bandwidth management. These are; * Layer 7 Protocol Filtering * IPTables patches * ebtables bridging * Caching/Proxying/Filtering of HTTP/FTP traffic * Second tier POP/SMTP scanning (only for virii really, but there may be scope to include spam at some stage) * Reporting and acounting functions The initial build will be these components, with the emphasis on the repackaging of the kernel and iptables. Subsequent builds will include a daemon I have been writing to control the relevant configuration files and also a web interface. I'm trying to write the service to be 'pluggable' by making it extensible by using some form of API (however, that is for the future) I hope that gives you a general overview. Feel free to pop along to the website and sign up if you feel as though you could help with this project. Thanks! Joel -- Joel Merrick
