there are a few bandwidth throttlers but they usually can only throttle "OUTGOING" sessions as incoming sessions are controlled by the equipment at the ISPs site. Luigi's dummynet code (see the archives of the 'current, hackers and net mailing lists) can do some inbound throttling using queues in incoming sessions. I haven't tried it but hey give it a try... :-) On Thu, 10 Sep 1998, User MEASL wrote: > Does anybody know where (if?) I can get some kind of bandwidth throttling > code for FBSD?
