Mmm, probably i mentioned linux box acting as a bridge [too]. And,
probably, not to stop, but to "prevent", by setting up some policy for pps
rates.

Probably, it's possible to set up some policing on Cisco Catalyst switch,
but if linux would have some tools to do "the same", it would be better,
as for me.

And i don't like "police [rate-bps] ..." here, i like htb in the same
situation :-)

I need a kind of "police [rate-*pps*] ...", and, preferably, for linux.

:-(



It's like it's not possible, so i should review my considerations
probably.


Thank you.
