I'm new to iproute2, but what I'd do is to put a transparent proxy and use
delay pools in squid to limit bandwidth to http.
At http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-19.html#ss19.8 you'll find an
example.

Of course, I'd love to see the solution with iproute2.

Omar

heh I love this 'simply' and 'easily shape' care to elaborate? Ive read the
advanced routing howto and searched the internet for other iproute2 and tc
documentation. But I need more HELP!! :) Ive tried copying the tc example
where traffic is bandwidth limited from differnt subnets but to be honest I
wasnt sure if it worked or not. Can anyone give me an example of
ratelimiting say incoming from port 80? Lets say (for the sake of the
example) you have a 500Kb/s ADSL download stream on a static IP (eth0) and a
10.x.x.x sub net on eth1. You want to limit all traffic with source port 80
out of eth1 to half that, 250Kb/s


I know its annoying when newbies ask questions, but there seems to be a lack
of information out there. A good book recomendation would also be welcome :)
