limit bandwidth?

Hi,

I have a Linux with two Network card. I want to use Linux to implement
the following functions:

- DHCP agent - get the DHCP request and pass to the DHCP server to
another NIC and get new IP address and send back to the requested host.

- Router with bandwidth limitation.

Any step by step instruction to implement this?

Thanks,

There are a couple of methods for implementing such. For a hint: try
investigating iproute2's capabilities, as well as bandwidth-shaper
software available in Linux.

Not really step by step, but enough information to get you going on at
least the bandwidth limitation part: http://www.lartc.org
