Hey Mark, There is a lot of wonderful Traffic shaping things that you can do with iptables. Take a look at the Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HOW-TO: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/index.html This will give you a good place to start. There is also some Application layer Traffic Shapers for Linux, you may want to do a search for this as well. Good Luck, Paul Gaynor -----Original Message----- From: Mark [mailto:markryan@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2003 10:52 AM To: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: server upload limiting Hi, I run a ftp server on a cable modem using slackware linux and proftpd. I am looking for a way to limit my upload speed so it is not always maxed out. Is there a way to do this with iptables? I would like to set a server limit of 38Kbytes send speed. Mark
