Hello,
with bandwidth in the order of n*64kbps, you may want to investigate dummynet, which is a function of the TCP/IP stack of FreeBSD, which does exactly what you want to do (and which is free).
beware : you will have to compile a new kernel for FreeBSD, so if this seems too adventurous for you, take some competent guy to do it for you (anyway, you will find a good handbook on www.freebsd.org)

Subject: Bandwidth limiting on Switch.
Hi,
We're about to start doing some co-location, and we will need to restrict the
bandwidth to each machine. I'm assuming we need some sort of switch with
bandwidth throttling capabilities?
We'd need to throttle from 32K, or 64K upwards, in 64K increments.
Could anyone recommend a particular product, or how they do the job?
TIA.
N.
