> I am testing tc and company tools :-) > I am trying to limit the download from Internet to one computer. you might be interested by my bytelimit patch, so I'll do some more advertistement for it ... :-) it is a netfilter (iptables) match allowing to do traffic shaping, like the "limit" match but in bytes/second instead of packets/second. it's as simple as : iptables -A FORWARD -d 192.168.23.45 -m bytelimit --rate 10000 -j DROP this will limit 192.168.23.45 to 10000 bytes/second . every packet "out of quota" will be dropped. the patch is at http://etudiant.univ-mlv.fr/~jpetazzo/bytelimit.tgz feel free to contact me for more info/help about the patch.
