I need some help with my network config. I'm hoping you can help me. Here's my current configuration:
<---A--->1<---B--->2<---C---> A is the IP subnet of my ISP B is an IP subnet for a CSLIP link between 1 and 2 C is the IP subnet of my LAN 1 is my internet "gateway" - running Debian 2 is my internet "router" - running Debian The only reason the B subnet exists is as a "bandwidth limiter". My ISP only wants me to use 112Kbps, so to create an artificial bottleneck, I put a system (#1) on his LAN and set up a direct CSLIP link between that box and our LAN. This system is working great. All routing is configured and most everyone's happy.... Except me.... <grin> The way things are configured, I've had to assign a whole subnet to B to configure routing. I've used a .224 mask on a Class C to create 6 subnets of 30 hosts. I need every address I can get and right now, I've got 28 wasted addresses on the B subnet - only two addresses are needed as it is a direct CSLIP link - basically the "sl0" interface on 1 and 2. My questions are: I once read/heard somewhere that it might be possible to do unnumbered CSLIP interfaces. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it? (Pointers to manual/docs gladly accepted....) Do you have any suggestions for other alternatives on how to limit the bandwidth above? Cost _is_ an issue.
