For a ppp bandwidth limiter you have a number of choices: - the ipretard code that was announced on one of the FreeBSD lists might also suit your needs, since you are dealing with low bandwidth; - if using user-space ppp (iijppp) you can hack the code to build two (or more) separate queues for traffic from/to different sources, and transfer data between the queues and the ppp link in a round-robin fashion - if you want to work within the kernel, you can try to hack a version of my dummynet stuff (http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html) to do something similar to the above; or, find some ready made solution, which I believe some vendor is already (or will be shortly) providing for FreeBSD.
