wifi sharing
need a standard for wifi sharing that doesn't penalize the host | |
I don't have a problem with people using my
wifi hotspot, as long as it doesn't interfere
noticeably with my own bandwidth. Wouldn't
it be nice if there was a two-tier system
where anybody who is logged in with proper
authentication is given priority over people
who use it as an open network?
Anytime the
authorized user needs bandwidth all other
'public' data transfer is throttled back but
otherwise it's just like an open public
network.
Share it legally

Don't you mean "wifi swapping"? |

So you'd end up with flustered laptoppers sitting in your front garden to use your internet connection? Fun. Bun for //all other 'public' data is throttled back//, and for letting me use the word laptoppers in a (coherent) sentence. |

wifi hotspot - ooh err
interfere noticeably - fnarr
two-tier - oh yes yes
throttled back - ooh you are naughty |

I'm lucky in my congested neighborhood I have no less then 6 unsecured networks to choose from at any one time. |
|
|
I use one cable connection that has a good ping and packetloss for gaming, and an ADSL connection that is a little laggy but the ports are open. |

can't you do this with QoS ? |

UnaBubba:
Did you use a LAN or a snowglobe? |
|
|
Uh huh. With a title that good -- a cooling off period is in order. |

I thought it was the Campaign for the Legalisation and Integration of Terryfing Organisms, and their Rehabilitation Into Society? |

This is almost like you're advocating WiFi Tithing |
|
|
[neilp] Is right, you can do this with QoS on the router. Teach the router which PCs are the "home" ones, those get full bandwidth. Everyone else gets less. |
