How I can do shaping based on client IP?

Hi schmal,

 

 

There are several discussions requesting this same type of functionality (I would suggest opening up a case with F5 for a feature request addition to the RateClass ability to give you the option to make it per client or per Virtual Server since having the option would be a nice feature and several people seem to want it).

 

 

One discussion you may find interesting is here: Limit traffic per client ip?.

 

 

Perhaps you could create a RateClass for the subnets that you want to restrict at the maximum amount of bandwith that you want that block of IP Addresses to have and assign it dynamically with a combination of the example on the RateClass and a Data Group (Class) that contains a list of all of the Subnets that you want restricted.

 

 

If you are wanting to take a more granular approach to police the individual clients that are assigned to this RateClass you could do that using another iRule that you could also incorporate.

 

 

Simple traffic shaping

 

 

Hope this helps.
