Is there any way to implementing traffic shaping >> over "from and to" an IP say 192.168.1.1? to shape traffic, you can also use an unofficial patch for netfilter (iptables), which does the same thing as the "limit" match, but allowing to specify rates in bytes/second instead of packets/second. you can get this patch from http://etudiant.univ-mlv.fr/~jpetazzo/bytelimit.tgz and you can then do something like : iptables -N lim1 iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.1 -j lim1 iptables -A FORWARD -d 192.168.1.1 -j lim1 iptables -A lim1 -m bytelimit --rate 12000 -j DROP (traffic "under" the 12000 bytes/second limit will go on thru the chain "lim1") Jerome Petazzoni <skaya at enix dot org>
