[LARTC] Download Bandwidth policing...

[Shaheen Hossain]

Dear Stef, I have read your reply with much interest. Would you be able
to give us some examples of putting the high bandwidth hogger in one
class and rest in other with burstable capability? Thanks a million in
advance.

There is a length match in iptables.  But I don't know if it will work.
You can also use squid and uses the delay pools in squid.

But why don't you put all the bandwidth eating traffic in 1 class and
give it 
a lower bandwith?  If there is no other traffic, they can use the full
link, 
but if there is other traffic, other traffis is served first.
