Luigi > With dummynet you can achieve almost the same effect by setting a
pipe with a very low bit rate, and yes, this will penalize big packets

But if we could filter and rate-limit by protocol type, ie, icmp, smtp, 
ftp, then we could slice our pipe to fit our needs (icmp very low, smtp 
low, http hi, ftp wherever).

I'm trying to decide between ET's bw-mgr or dummynet.

Anybody here leaning on ET's bw-mgr in T1 and better throughputs with lotsa 
rules?
