Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:5.1p1-3
Severity: wishlist

It would be really useful to be able to put a bandwidth limit on SSH
tunnels. I know scp has the -l option, and rsync has --bwlimit, but
a tool like unison or a generic SSH tunnel does not have a bandwidth
limit, but it seems like it would be the most logical place.

Even better would be a way to be able to change the bandwidth limit
of an existing connection, via escape character.

Thanks,
