Or do I need to get a () router to limit bandwidth to one box? man 4 dummynet :-) My intention is not a ``RTFM'', but meant as a pointer. We have tried dummynet for bandwidth limiting on a FreeBSD based Ethernet router and it seems to work fine and maybe enough for your purpose. For example, you can use it for limiting traffic to special addresses or address range(s) but without limit for others, let's say, your personal desktop machine :-) You won't need a router. BTW, I found the documentation to be good enough for me, and I'm not to deep into TCP/IP. But you definitely need to learn about the IP Firewall and you need a custom kernel.
