I have a 100Mbps data centre connection.
I would like to limit users bandwidth to my server but only when it
becomes clogged.
It seems users report problems when the bandwidth gets above 7000kbits
per sec
I think this is caused by useres downloading many files rather than
streaming video.
I think 2000kbits per sec should be enough for streaming video so is
there a way to throttle this and share it equally between users anytime
the overall connection gets above 70000?
