Yes and no.

bandwidth management on Linux is done using tc (traffic control) - part
of ip route2.

Ther are however modules of P-O-M (netfilter) that can route traffic via
different interfaces according to netfilter rules. Sort of poor mans
load balancing.

Have a look at tc and the queuing disciplines (HTB, TBF, SFQ, CBQ, etc).

Netfilter is a packet filter, so it is not the appropriate tool to
enforce bandwidth limitation. You should have a look at iproute2 package
that contains tc (Traffic Control).

Read Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HOWTO at :

	http://lartc.org/

You will find a quite complete documentation for bandwidth limitation.
You can also download cbq.init or htb.init scripts that can make things
a lot easier (scripts are self documented, just edit them) :

	https://sourceforge.net/projects/cbqinit/
	https://sourceforge.net/projects/htbinit/
