[This message has also been posted to linux.debian.user.] I'm moving my colocated Debian server to a place with high overage charges. My network link will carry about 200x my bandwidth allocation for the month. The new bandwidth allocation is about 8x what I've been using. But if I get slashdotted and have a 10x month, it will cost too much. What's the Debian way to monitor total network traffic and throttle down if I get too near the monthly limit? Thanks Cameron
If you are primarily worried about apache bandwidth, you can use the libapache2-mod-cband module. You can set up quotas and throttling with it. You can also set it to redirect to a different page if the quota has been exceeded.
