I have two questions in regards to a FreeBSD Server and avoiding ISP
bandwidth charges.

Are there changes to the ways bandwidth can be controlled in FreeBSD 8.

Is there an accepted or standardized method to control and limit bandwidth
usage over an interface.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Marcel
