Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've got a server dishing out lots of goodies. I'm on an ethernet to a high-capacity switch. However, I've also got really bursty traffic, and I'd like to be able to set a ceiling on what goes out on a sustained basis. E.g., even though I can do 10MB/s in theory, I'd like to implement something to keep me below 2 MB/s in practice. I realize the most direct way to do that is implement rate limiting on each service I provide, but that's not always a tractable problem. Is there a tool that I can use that works on FreeBSD that I can use to control bandwidth utilization like this? I know high-end routers can do it, I was hoping for a server-local solution. Ideally, it won't touch port 22 packets, so my interactive sessions wouldn't be harmed. :) Brian --=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-- pure chewing satisfaction brian@apache.org brian@hyperreal.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
