For instance, if I limit a host to 30KB/s in an attempt to get the host to not exceed 300KB/s total transfer, and 11 people start transferring, my plain is foiled. With ALTq it's possible to limit bandwidth on a per-line basis -- is this possible with dummynet as well? (For instance, setting up a limitation by which a host could not transfer over 100KB/s; if 100 people connected with the capability to do so, they'd all receive 1KB/s). The manpage is rather thin with information on this subject. Kind regards, Devon H. O'Dell
