shaping traffic

Hi there,

I am trying to get my file server to talk to my router with the bandwidth
that the
internet connection can do, mainly because I use the file server to do
p2p, and at the
moment my router is swamped with packages, which makes my internet
experience
(especially SSH) behave somewhat sluggish.

Is there an easy way to restrict bandwidth to a certain IP (either
gateway, or ALL IP's
other than my internal network)?
I looked at LARC, but I have to admit that I have trouble understanding it
well enough
to write my own filters.

Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.

Try:

<http://www.netlimiter.com>

Shareware, and does a real fine job. I've used it to limit Kazaa to 10K
upload, but it is also good for seeing what apps are using what bandwidth.

Thanks for the reply. I realized I forgot to mention that the system in
question runs Linux 2.4

Aah, did wonder! See if this helps. There is a link on there for the
Linx QOS howto.
