You can limit some parts of the traffic to a lower bandwidth.  But the problem 
is to match that traffic.  And kazaa is very hard to match.  It uses random 
ports and even ACK packets for uploads.  
As fas I know there is no way to perfectly match kazaa traffic.

[Paul Suela]

Sir,

Thanks for the wondershaper utility!

It has improved the response time for my ssh connections to my home 
server whenever i need to access it from the Internet.

However, is there a way to setup a bandwidth, say 10kbits/sec (i only 
have 128kbits/sec DSL), and assign it to a particular traffic type like 
  kazaa and other P2P file-sharing?

This way it will guarantee that my home users of kazaa will only eat up 
and share that total small amount amongst my family and nothing more.

I don't want to restrict P2P usage in my home network but just put a 
configurable limit. Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks again!
