Limiting the Network bandwidth by software

Hello ,
My application uses network resources extensively ; it
should work under different bandwidth loads (according to the customer
bandwidth allocation) : under fixed 10 KB/sec , under fixedmax KB/sec,
and under fixed 30 KB/sec.

This means that the ADSL user,which uses this application,
is allocated a fixed bandwidth.

I need to test my application in this different bandwidth values.
I do not have hardware tool to test this.
Is there a tool for limiting the Network bandwidth by software,
which can set an upper limit to the max bandwidth a station
can transmit ?

regards,
sting

There are a few, yes, like this one for example:

http://users.skynet.be/cbqinit/

I found that one with this search engine:

http://www.google.com/linux

using the search terms "bandwidth" and "limit" together.

HTB is easier and much more powerfull:

http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/manual/userg.htm


//leoh
main(){int j=1234;char t[]=":@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.\n"
,*i = "iqgbgxmlvivuc\n:wwnfwsdoi"; char *strchr(char *,int);
while(*i){j+=strchr(t,*i++)-t;j%=sizeof t-1;putchar(t[j]);}}

The docs for htb says something about a minimum of 4KB/s.

CBQ is the she-devil of the bunch, requiring countless options (
extremely-configurable, apparently) but the linux advanced routing and
traffic control site (www.lartc.org) has necessary details on it.

Pick your poison.
