Sounds nice. Would it work if all the traffic is from the local host (thin client server) to the other local machines (thin clients)? Are there other alternatives? shaperd looks like it might be able to do the job: minerva:/usr/src/d-i-svn/packages/autopartkit# apt-cache show shaperd Package: shaperd Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 200 Maintainer: RISKO Gergely <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.2.1-5 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.4.1-3), libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1) Recommends: iptables Filename: pool/main/s/shaperd/shaperd_0.2.1-5_i386.deb Size: 44568 MD5sum: 4b24a1d6aa79df4d525257d28597a9c4 Description: A user-mode traffic shaper for tcp-ip networks Shaperd is a user-mode program that can shape traffic passing through a Linux box. As it runs as a normal daemon, some kind of packet-forwarding mechanism is needed. This can be done with the BSD divert sockets patch for Linux 2.2, or with netfilter's built-in libipq under Linux 2.4.
