General Router FAQ Session and Bandwidth Limitation   Source :  http://url.stisitelkom.ac.id/95755   The Session and Bandwidth limitation features are useful where you are concerned that individual users on your network might make disproportionate use of your Internet connection, causing inconvenience for other users. These features restrict LAN clients idenified by their IP address. For this reason, it is important that the PCs always have the same IP address so that they always have the correct limitations applied. You can hard-code the PCs IP addresses or  pre-set  the DHCP allocations from the router (the latter being preferred). Bandwidth Limitaton You can limit the amount of Upstream and Downstream Bandwidth that any device on your network is allowed to use, based on their IP Address.

This thought should lead you to wonder if you can use a regular PC to do the same thing. The answer, thanks to Linux, is that you can - and it's very easy. There are many different Linux distributions designed specifically to turn your machine into a router or a gateway, complete with any number of enhancements. Our favourite is called ClearOS. It's a fantastic choice of router for your network because it's relatively painless to configure, but it's also extendible, taking it far beyond even the most ambitious devices from manufacturers like Netgear. You could use it to host your cloud documents, complete with editing, host and access your email, either through a web interface or se...
